Hi @GemmaWigley,

We regret to hear about this issue you're experiencing, and we appreciate you getting in touch and for making your first post here in the Roku Community.

We'd be more than happy to take a closer look at this. Could you please provide us with the details below?

  • Roku device model, serial number, device ID, and software OS/version (these can all be found in Settings > System > About).
  • tracker ID when this issue occurs (when you see this issue occur, press the Home button 5 times, followed by the Back button 5 times, and provide us with this ID).
  • Who is your ISP?

@GemmaWigley,

Thanks for the prompt response!

We really do appreciate the detailed information about this. We'll take it from here, and we'll relay this information to the appropriate Roku team for further investigation.

We'll make sure to update this thread or mention you once information becomes available. In the meantime, it seems like you haven't tried connecting it to a mobile hotspot. Let's see if that works for you, and let us know how things turn out.

Hi @GemmaWigley,

We really do apologize for the delay in our solutions to this. We'd like to know if you can at least connect to a mobile hotspot and then try reaccessing the app to see if there are any differences.

We also provided an update to the appropriate Roku team about this. We'll get back to you.

Thanks for your understanding.

We have tried using a mobile hotspot and it has made no difference.

Hopefully this can be sorted soon.
