Hi @Waynebaby,

Thanks for the first post to the Roku Community!

We appreciate you letting us know about the trouble you've experienced streaming on your Roku device.

May we know:

  • Does the issue happen with the channels under "The Roku Channel" app?
  • Can you specify whether it's the live TV under the Roku Channel or the on-demand shows under the same streaming app that are not working?
  •  If the same shows worked before, when did you start having this issue?
  • Have you made any changes to the device's location?

Please keep us posted on what you find out, and we'll continue assisting you from there.

All the best,
Chel

when I tried to get youtube channel to work it said I don't have enough memory.  My TV doesn't have memory. Never the less I eliminated some channels including youtube and it said I don't have enough memory.  This is something new and frustrating, please help.
