Solving playback issues

[m1nerva]

We expect you, the company of Roku, to resolve this issue for your members.  We don't care if it's the company with the app.  We pay you excellent money to stream the stations we want.  If they don't work, you, your company, Roku, should contact the company in question and get with their development dept. and figure out what the heck is going on. 

Quit passing the ball.  You all know that Fox News won't contact anybody just like you guys won't.  This is probably the last Roku of anything I'll ever buy.  Your support system sucks and this answer sucks too.  

So sick of companies pass the buck and blaming someone else.  Get with it, get with them and fix this issue.  It's been going on for years!

So disappointed in your company.

Mason ... I agree with you... this is a note to Roku...

Of course!  I never said anything with 100%!   Regardless, it is freezing on all our TVs...seven in total... so the issue has to be either with Fox or Roku.

Roku itself is free to use. As far as I know, the Fox News app is a TV Everywhere app that requires a cable/satellite/Live Streaming TV subscription where it is part of your channel package. Roku is not involved in that.

Does this also affect Fox Nation? And even so, Roku is just a middleman, like Amazon, Apple, Google, who take their cut and pass it on to the service.

Shocked! It's working fine now!!!

Tell your people to stop with the BS nonsense please. This has gone on too long. Maybe something Trump will look into. 🤔

Have you seen other posts from people saying that they never have issues when streaming from a Roku TV? It is only only a Roku stick or device? So, if it's a Fox news app issue, why wouldn't it happen on all TVs? Also, if the code wasn't written correctly for Roku, why wouldn't the app just not work at all or wouldn't there be errors daily? This happens in a pattern. Explain that please.

Please stop lying. How often do you do an OS update? Every 24-48 hours? You're telling me every app available on Roku is sitting by just waiting to see something needs to be changed with each update? And...it seems with each update Fox News is the only one that needs something updated? Please, I'm not buying it and I don't think the rest of them are either. I'll be getting in contact with someone at Fox News to ensure they know of this issue if it continues. It's BS. Jessie Waters Primetime loves BS like this.

11/16/24   Having the same issue with Fox News Channel App as you stated. Just Spins when I click on watch now. . I am using Breezline.net and it loads successfully.  

OK , Roku , Trump won the election, MSNBC is getting sold and CNN is laying everyone off. How about fixing it already
