Channels & viewing

[kereno]

We wanted to watch our Pac 12 games so I subscribed to ESPN. When I went to watch it I was given a code and directed to activate my account; then had to select which cable TV I had subscribed to. It didn't acknowledge ROKU and it didn't acknowledge my internet streaming provider. So I had no access and paid for nothing. Bad!

Hello @kereno

Thanks for letting us know about the issue you're experiencing.

Please be advised that there are channels on Roku that require a cable or TV provider login for full access. (e.g., ESPN)

If you need help with the charge, it may be more effective to get help from our Billing team. You can contact them here: support.roku.com/contactus then choose 'Questions about my account or billing' on the drop-down menu. They are the best ones to help you out with that matter.

I hope this helps!

All the best,
Kariza

@kereno-

Was this ESPN or ESPN+, and how did you subscribe - directly with ESPN, through Roku, or through some other party such as Amazon/Hulu/etc?

I have the same problem paid 73.91 for a annual subscription through roku for espn and find out that espn requires expensive cable or satellite.

Will not refund. Espn said I have to go through roku for refund. Good luck there.

What a rip off.

@Dalem

Thanks for the post.

It looks like you may have paid for an ESPN+ annual subscription, rather than ESPN.
