Roku channel does not work on Roku TV

Jump to solution

On my roku TV the roku channel will not open it's been like this for the past few days. I did what people said in the community like restarting and etc but it still didn't work. I dont know if it's because i would use it everyday to watch roku live or because of something else.

Suddenly over-the-air doesn't work, neither does the Roku channel

Jump to solution

Everything was fine until this morning when I clicked on the antenna icon for local news. Nothing! Nothing! Nothing!

I removed the antenna input from the system, added it back, scanned for channels, went back to the home screen where I clicked on the antenna icon, only to have NOTHING come up. 

In the Settings area, I can see the list of local channels that were identified and added, BUT, cannot play them!

After researching over the internet (and here) I went to the Roku channel, figuring everything went there... NOPE! Roku channel won't even open up!

Thank God this POS tv is still able to be returned. I will NEVER purchase another Roku product again!

Re: Streaming Channels not Launching

It's strange that I can watch Roku on my Iphone but not on my ONN Roku TV and more strange that this seems to have been going on for months for a lot of people and ROKU has done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!! I am about ready to return my TV and go with Amazon Fire stick.  I have a meeting with a local news reporter this coming week to discuss this issue and see if maybe they can get the word out to consumers to beware of ROKU'S bait and switch game and not fixing issues.

The Roku Channel Broken

Jump to solution

The Roku channel is broken.  I have tried to watch several different movies that appear as options on the Roku Channel and they won't load  I click on play, it says it is retrieving the movie and then it just sits there and plays dead.  It doesn't load the movie, doesn't say there is a problem, doesn't go back to the main menu, just pretends it is retrieving a movie that it is never going to load.

Roku App not loading

Jump to solution

I tried to find an answer, but got lost in everything.  We have an Onn Roku TV from Walmart.  Worked great, then the Roku app just will not load. Tired removing, and restarting system and adding Roku app back on, did a factory reset also.

When you click on the Roku app, it just goes right back to the startup screen

The other apps seem to all be working fine.
