Can't play anything on my Roku. Get error code RK-1008 all the time. Lots of people complaining about app not working. Also having problems on my phone. Plays ads then nothing.. I have raised a ticket and all I got back was "try playing a fewthings, let us know what and we will a look". It's everything at any time of the day or night. I missed the whole of the para Olympics.

Downloaded the new app at the end of last year. It has almost never worked. Every time I go to play something I just get an 'Unexpected error' saying I need to retry or restart. Clicking either just sends me to a black screen. I try to log in with my account and get another error. Absolutely gutted. I used the old app all the time but this one I will have to delete.

we don't have a tv aerial, so we have to use the live tv option, but it doesn't work every time I've tried it. It keeps saying it is not able to generate a licence (good know what it means) at the moment. no good if you're dependent on it. Fix it. Update 15 Oct 2025 the live tv section buffers a lot. sometimes i have to find something else to watch, it's really annoying when it happens (which is a lot). It's not good if they're going to be linking freely to this app.

HI Samantha,
Hi Samantha, really sorry you're having trouble. Licence errors may be due to network reliability. While issues aren’t expected on Android 16 Beta, they can be more likely. We're working hard to improve Live TV performance and appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
