Here is a way to add the channel, but it is private and may get shut down: https://www.cordcuttersnews.com/how-...icial-channel/

Re: The Roku Thread
Most on demand content was delayed a(week I think) before being unlocked for non TV subscribers. Live TV only worked for subscribers for most broadcasts. Some special events were free for Live also w/o a subscription.

Re: The Roku Thread
Latest email from Roku on the situation. Sounds like both are blaming each other.
The many ways to stream the Super Bowl on Roku devices & latest about FOX channels
Roku <[email protected]>
Fri 1/31/2020 4:11 PM
Dear Roku Customer, On Sunday, you can stream the Super Bowl on Roku devices through FuboTV, Hulu + Live TV, Sling TV, and YouTube TV. Many offer free trials for new customers. We’ll also be running a Big Game Guide that makes things easy for you. If you are a Comcast or Spectrum TV cable user, the Game will be available on the Xfinity & Spectrum TV apps on Roku. Roku TV owners with an antenna can tune into broadcast TV.
The game will stream free on the NFL app on Roku unless FOX blocks your ability to stream it.
We don’t like FOX’s tactics and wish they had agreed to extend. But our agreement expires today. We are both disappointed and sad to see the FOX channels come down and will try to restore them.
We want your TV experience to be as simple as possible. There are many ways to stream the Super Bowl on Roku devices this weekend. We hope you enjoy the game.

Re: The Roku Thread
Odd that during this Fox/Roku issue, I checked and somehow, perhaps totally unrelated, but my YouTube channel/app disappeared from my channel lineup. Easy to add back but strange it vanished since I view it daily.

So far this Fox Sports app feed is rock steady. No issues yet. Let's see what happens when the game starts though.

Re: The Roku Thread
My dad has a Roku something or other hooked to tv. Current version he says. He’s having a lot of trouble with Vudu on the device. I’m unfamiliar with Roku. Can he delete app, reinstall via Roku, set WiFi and will that work? Or is there something else he can do? Don’t believe happens with Netflix or Amazon. Just Vudu...

Re: The Roku Thread
Depends. Have him try that, or first have him go to the Roku main menu to settings, system, system update, and see if anything updates. Could be the firmware or app hasn’t been updated. And if he did those, then maybe the Roku may be having issues.
Also, it’d be really cool if you can provide more details than “having a lot of trouble” with the Vudu app. Does it not connect? Does it play then stop? Mas info.

The YouTube app on Roku is buggy as hell. Every other day it stops down and says YouTube is not available at the moment. You can either close or cancel and then if you cancel it starts the video from the beginning.

My Roku's YouTube app is best for some videos but the one in my LG TV is better for others. Wish they could get the best of both worked out on one of them.

This a cool little app for updating channels
https://www.rokuguide.com/private-ch...te-my-channels
It's a "private' unlisted channel. Works great and you don't have to reboot your Roku after you run it. Probably have to restart to get it to show in your library after installing it.

He’s so damn afraid he’s gonna screw something up and not get it back. I wish I could do it for him but they are quarantined and FaceTime would be a disaster...

Re: The Roku Thread
Check the Roku channel. There's a lot of free 1 month trials right now including Showtime, EPIX, Hallmark, Hi-Yah, Scream Box, Acorn TV Shout TV and much more.
I know most here don't have a lot of time to watch TV, but if you need some more content to watch in the next 30 days, there's plenty there.
One key thing to mention. If you've used a free 1 month trial on any of these providers in the past on Roku, you don't qualify for another.

Re: The Roku Thread
Does anyone else use the "Roku Media Player" channel/app?
I consider it an essential channel and use it a lot to play media files but I never see it talked about much.
