Are you having trouble setting up a new Roku or installing a new Roku Channel? Right now the Roku Channel store is currently down for unknown causes. This means new Roku players cannot be set up and current Roku owners cannot install new Roku Channels. If you have a Roku already set up with the services installed you are still able to access them at this time. So Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, and more are all still working on Roku Players and Roku TVs at this time.
Update: We are getting reports that the Roku Channel Store is back online.
Here is a statement Roku posted on their website:

This is likely a very short-term outage that has already been going on for about an hour. Hopefully, soon you will be able to install new Roku Channels and setup new Roku Players once again. Cord Cutters News is reaching out to Roku for an update and will update this post as we learn more.
