Cant add PBS on Roku having an issue

Jump to solution

This happened overnight with no changes on my side.  What is going on with ROKU????? 

I tried a system restart - did not work.  Also,  If I try to add an app like PBS the system will not allow me to open it and sign in (even though I had previously signed in) so I cannot use the apps on the ROKU TV that I've paid for.

Re: PBS app not working even though I deleted it and rebooted my Roku 4

Jump to solution

Something definitely changed today (11/17/24)  PBS was even working on one of my old Roku 2's yesterday and now does not work on any of my 4 Roku devices. That includes my 2 week old TCL 50 inch. Removed the app, turned TV off and unplugged. Re-added the app, turn off and unplugged again. Still does the same thing. PBS suggests making sure firewall is not blocking www.doubleclick.net. It is not.  Very frustrating!

PBS not loading, goes back to ROKU home screen

Jump to solution

Sunday Nov 17 PBS APP tries to load on ROKU and crashes back to ROKU home screen.  Updated App. Un-installed / re-installed. Rebooted ROKU. Rebooted router. Rebooted TV.  No other channels have this issue.  PBS live plays fine.  I have noticed others having this issue
