Solving playback issues

[LK07]

My Newsmax2 is stuck on woke loop.  I have removed and reset Roku and it is still stuck on woke loop.  You fixed it for a week and now it is back to woke loop.  I have also contacted newsmax2 and they just keep verifying my email.  Please fix this or I will have to go back to an Amazon firestick.

How are you watching Newsmax2? And what is a "woke loop"?

Just to add, I did a quick check, and it appeared to working properly on the Roku Live channels.

The Roku Channel's Newsmax2 LiveTV channel (190) does seem to be repeating airings of "Woke America" rather than the regular programming indicated in the Guide listings.

The other channels/apps that carry Newsmax2 like Pluto, Rumble, Plex, etc are working correctly.

You can also install the standalone Newsmax app that will allow you to access Newsmax2 for free and without a subscription as well.

I keep removing and adding it back in and it is still airing the woke show.  I don't know where to go to separate it out then?  It loads newsma2 but only plays the woke loop show instead of what is on the guide.

On main menu and go to roku channel and it is there for live shows.  I removed the app and add it back in and it still won't play what is on the guide for newsmax2.  It has this same show about woke and continuously plays it.

I don't have Pluto or any of those listed.

Nothing you can do if the Roku Channel Live TV (190) is playing the wrong feed. (until it gets fixed).

On your Roku device Home Screen go to the "Search" menu item on the left and search for "Newsmax".  Then install the Newsmax channel/app and select the N2 channel/content from within this standalone channel/app.

Otherwise, install one of the other free channels/apps like Plex or Pluto that also carry the N2 (Newsmax2) live TV channel. (again, use the "Search" menu item to look for Pluto or Plex).

There are many free channels on Roku that carry similar/the same "Live TV" as the Roku Channel.

From the above link, you will see from the "Streaming Services" that you can watch it on Pluto, Plex, DistroTV, KlowdTV, Local Now, and others on your Roku device.  All these are free channels/apps.
