Hi there! I understand that your TN channel on Roku was replaced with the EWTN+ app, and you want to get rid of EWTN+ because you don't need the plus version. Let's get this sorted out.
Just to clarify, is it that the original EWTN channel got removed from your Roku device and only EWTN+ is available now? Or do you have both channels but want to revert to the original standard EWTN app? Also, do you recall if you uninstalled the old EWTN app at any point?
While I check on the specifics, here is what you can try:
1. Check the Roku Channel Store: Sometimes, channels get updated or replaced by their providers. The original EWTN app and EWTN+ are two different apps, with EWTN+ offering additional streaming content and features. You can try searching for the original "EWTN" channel in the Roku Channel Store again: - On your Roku home screen, navigate to the Channel Store. - Use the search function and type "EWTN". - See if the original channel is available to add separately from EWTN+.
2. Remove EWTN+ if not wanted: - Highlight the EWTN+ app on your home screen. - Press the * button on your Roku remote to open the options. - Select "Remove channel" and confirm.
3. Add original EWTN channel: - If found in the store, add the original EWTN channel back. - Launch it and verify it is the version you prefer.
If the original EWTN app is no longer available in the Roku store, it's possible that EWTN has consolidated their streaming under the EWTN+ brand for Roku users. This change sometimes happens when providers update their streaming platforms to enhance content access.
If you'd like, I can help you explore alternative ways to watch the original EWTN programming on Roku or other devices.
Does this help? And does the original EWTN channel still show up in your Roku Channel Store search?
Thanks for letting me know that the original EWTN channel isn't showing in the Roku Channel Store, only EWTN+. Since you don’t need EWTN+ because you can watch EWTN content on your computer, it seems EWTN has likely transitioned Roku users to stream via EWTN+ exclusively. This could be a strategic consolidation of their streaming services for Roku devices.
Here’s what I recommend:
1. Confirm Roku System is Updated: Occasionally, app availability depends on having the latest Roku OS version. Navigate to Settings > System > System update on your Roku to ensure it’s current.
2. Check EWTN Website or Contact Support: EWTN’s official site or support might provide insights about this change. It appears the traditional EWTN channel app is no longer offered on Roku and users are directed to EWTN+ for Roku streaming6.
3. Use Computer or Other Devices for Standard Viewing: Since you mentioned you can watch on your computer, continuing there makes sense if Roku doesn’t offer the original channel.
4. Consider Using Screen Mirroring: If you want to watch the original EWTN content on your TV via Roku, try mirroring your computer or mobile device screen to Roku. Roku supports screen mirroring on Windows 10: - On Windows, go to Settings > System > Display > Connect to a wireless display. - Select your Roku device to mirror your screen and play EWTN's website or app from your computer to your TV.
If you want, I can guide you through setting up screen mirroring on your Windows 10 device with your Roku.
Would you like to try that or need help contacting EWTN support directly? Let me know!

I didn't see the original channel listed, only the EWTN+. I do not need the + as I can get on my computer
