Solving playback issues

[Z-man-42]

I work in IT and the best thing to do when there is an issue between components is to work on the issue until it is resolved, even if it appears to be an issue on the other side.  
Until the problem is resolved, you can’t say with 100% certainty that it isn’t a problem on your side.

nothing freezes but fox news... been happening for over a year!  I write fox news on X & Messenger.  I guess I'll try complaining on Instagram too.!

Did you get a fix?    I am having the same issue.....

Your Link to Fox Help does not work.

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.
