Solving playback issues

[sheared]

What happened to the VOD version of the Great British Baking show? It was there yesterday, and today there is a new interface and it is gone. Was it a limited run thing meant to get people into the channel with no intention of it being available long term or a bug in this new interface?

I have the same issue. I was watching the Great British Baking Show yesterday and it is gone today. WITHOUT any WARNING. I was halfway through Season 7. The final season on Roku, and now I am unable to watch it.

Literally picked up a Roku just to watch this only to have the show disappear today.

I guess I will be returning it.

Yes same thing happened to me! I was watching the celebrity version and was just starting season 8.

Same problem. Will they put it back on?  I was so enjoying it.

Understanding that this thread was regarding the VOD (video on demand) library for Great British Baking Show, keep in mind that the Roku Channel also has a live channel for this show in their lineup. (channel 447).  This evening they are currently running S6 of the Celebrity Baking Show for those interested.

For VOD, looks like Netflix currently is the only one offering it for streaming.

Thank you. Unfortunately, I started at season five, watched through the end, and was about to start back at the beginning. I'll check out Netflix, but the last time I looked, they only had the new seasons, not the older shows that had been on Roku yesterday.

If anyone knows where the earlier seasons of GBBO and GBBO Celebrity version are going to be on demand, I'd love to hear about it. I appreciate the offer of the FAST channel, but I just don't really want to watch it out of order. I'd pay a monthly subscription fee to watch it if I had to.

There was no notice on the leaving soon page, so it really rubbed me the wrong way. I was watching another show on Roku Channel that got removed, but at least they had it on the leaving soon page, so I knew about it. I thought, that's ok, because I can still watch GBBO. And then 4 days later that up and poofs. Hopefully it's just a mistake, but if not, any news on where I'd need to go to watch it would be appreciated. I am also hesitant to start watching anything on Roku Channel now. It seems I can't finish anything before they remove it, and it rarely ever comes back. Apologies for the rant.

While I appreciate the availability of the “live” stream, I was in the middle of season 4 and it just vanished. So disappointed!

Made it up to middle of season 5 and it vanished.  Wtf Roku?  Noticed Amazon prime has it but it says "video unavailable"... Is this some sort of contractual issue?  I wanted to at least make it to the end of Mary Berry!
