Re: Roku 3 issue playing cbc gem

Hi, @Stanley-1985 

Thanks for posting, and welcome to the Roku Community.

We understand your concern regarding the error code that appears when trying to access the CBC Gem app on your Roku 3, and we're here to assist. Since you have performed the troubleshooting step with the app, we recommend updating your Roku device to the latest software.

Follow the instructions below to manually check for software and app updates.

  1. Press Home on your Roku remote
  2. Scroll and select Settings
  3. Select System
  4. Select Software update
  5. Select Check Now to manually check for updates
  • The System update screen displays the current software and build version, along with the date and time of the latest update.

If there is new software available or there are updates for your apps, then your Roku device will download and install them automatically and once completed, your device will reboot. For more information, you can visit this support article on How to update the software on your Roku streaming device

We hope this works, and let us know if you have further concerns or inquries.

Re: Roku 3 issue playing cbc gem

I followed the directions. It said updates were up to date. I went back and logged in again. As soon as I clicked on CBC Vancouver Hockey that message appeared again. Any other suggestions?

Regards,

David

Re: Roku 3 issue playing cbc gem

Thanks for your reply. I'm signed up for Gem and CBC. Logging in from my desktop and all is well. Same story for my Lenovo tablets.

I signed up last year and all was well on the TV with Roku too. 

Thanks for your time.

For more information, you can visit CBC Gem - CBC Help Centre

We hope this will be sorted out soon, and feel free to reach out to us if you have further concerns or inquiries.

I have tried these and no change. Also contacted CBC gem. All they say is that they are looking into the issue but no solutions.
