I'm a Dish Network subscriber & trying to watch the World Series on Roku. There is no Dish app so I added the Fox Sports app. After entering credentials it tells me I'm not authorized based on my package. This is not correct. I can watch Fox on my main TV or on a tablet via the Dish app. Why is the Fox Sports blocking me?
You'd have to ask them. Roku isn't responsible for how apps authorize their users.
I've read here and there that some content providers want extra money from cable/sat providers to allow "TV Everywhere" apps to be used, and some cable companies don't pay it. (Since people already complain about the cost of cable.) In any case, like renojim said, that's something going on between Fox Sports and Dish, so you'll need to ask them.
