Same here. With so many people having the same problem one would think Roku would get a clue and stop asking for their machine ID, and etc plus the name of their first whatever.  

This problem may be pbs' but it works on a firestick.  I have one and tried it.  So Roku get a clue and try to find out the problem.

Re: PBS App Continues to Crash

Same here.  App actually disappeared on my bedroom tv, so I reinstalled it but it won’t open.  I sent email and have ticket #. 
Many of these programs are favorites and the reason I’ve been a sustaining member.

Cant remember a situation like this.  Guess I’ve been lucky.  Also glad I have a file with login info and password,

No matter what I do I can’t get the PBS app to open. I’ve tried this on all my Roku devices and it’s the same. I’ve tried deleting the app and restarting but when I try opening the app it just goes back to the Roku Home Screen. All other apps work fine - and I’ve never had this problem with pbs before

Hi Community users,

Thanks for the follow-up.

Please be aware that we have passed along your information to the appropriate Roku team for further investigation.

To those users that haven't given their information yet, can you please provide the following details below?

  • Roku device model, serial number, device ID, and software OS/version (these can all be found in Settings > System > About)
  • Tracker ID when this issue occurs (when you see this issue occur, press the Home button 5 times, followed by the Back button 5 times, and provide us with this ID)
  • What troubleshooting steps have you taken so far?

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. We advised you to contact the channel partner while we're still investigating this problem.

Your patience and understanding are much appreciated.

Thanks,
John
