Problems with NBC News app.

Jump to solution

NBC News app requires multiple (over 20 today) clicks before it loads.  I have uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail.  All other apps work normally.

Hi @ckmcarr,

Greetings from the Roku Community, and thanks for keeping us posted!

After attempting the troubleshooting steps and videos from other channels play fine, contact the channel provider's customer support team to report the issue and get help. Channels on Roku are maintained by the channel developers themselves. In this case, there's likely an issue within that specific channel that needs to be addressed with an update from them.

If there's anything else that we can do to assist you, please keep us posted.

Kind regards,
John

Hello Roku Community users,

Welcome to the Roku Community!

We understand that some of you are facing issues with your NBC News channel, and we are here to help you resolve them.

To resolve this issue, we strongly advise following these steps carefully:

  • Uninstall the channel by highlighting it, pressing the * button, and selecting "remove".
  • Clear cache and data: From the Roku home screen, navigate to Settings > System > Advanced system settings > Network connection reset. Choose "Reset connection" and then proceed to the next step.
  • Restart your Roku device by unplugging your TV and then plugging it back in. This step can help clear any temporary cache or data-causing issues.
  • Check your internet connection: Ensure that your Roku device is connected to a stable internet connection. You can test your internet connection by going to Settings > Network > Check connection on your Roku device. If your connection is weak or unstable, try restarting your router or contacting your internet service provider for assistance.
  • Reinstall the channel by pressing the home button on your Roku remote, scrolling and selecting "Store", and then adding the channel from there.

Thanks for the reply.  I get no error message.  The app just blinks and takes me back to the home screen.  Today, it connected normally once.  I just tried it two more times - it took two tries for the first attempt and connected normally for the second..  Perhaps the issue is resolving itself?  Before today, it has taken me over 20 tries before it connects.  

I know it seems silly, but I really like this news app.  As I said, all other apps work perfectly so this has been frustrating.

Good information to have.  It connected right away this morning so think it may have resolved itself.  Thanks for the help!

This is happening to me too!

 

For a week or so, it has been between 5-10 times/tries with no ability to get on Roku/NBC News app today at all. All other apps are working properly.

I updated app.

I unplugged ROKU and reloaded it.

I deleted NBC News app and reloaded.

No error messages, just won't load.

NO WAY TO GET ONTO THE APP. PLEASE HELP.

Thanks,

Kathleen #NBCNEWSAPP

No error message displayed. App will not launch. Presents NBC logo for about 3-5 seconds, flickers as if opening new screen, then goes black. No message or sound...nothing.  App just isn't working. Been that way for several days now.

I have this problem too. I just have to restart the app a number of times to get it to work properly.
