Roku PlayOn Channel Has Been Removed from the Roku Store
Why Would The PlayOn Roku Channel Get Removed?
Some content providers may be unhappy that people could use the PlayOn app to skip past their commercials cutting into profits. When you try to access the Roku PlayOn channel a banner comes up with the message the channel has been removed.
It then directs you to a Web page at go.roku.com/channelremoved where Roku explains in more detail why a particular channel may no longer be on its platform.
Not having access to the PlayOn Roku channel is no longer as important as it once was. Because you can still use the PlayOn Cloud DVR app on your phone to save all the shows and movies you want to your device. Then you can use AirPlay, Mirroring, or Casting and watch them directly on your TV with Roku or Apple TV.
Mirroring also works fantastic for browsing content that's on the Internet and playing it back on your TV from your phone with AirPlay or Mirroring. This is the way to do this now on Roku since they removed private channels and are more strictly controlling apps you can install from the Channel Store.
For full instructions on how to use Casting, AirPlay, and Mirroring on Roku, full step-by-step instructions are here.
About PlayOn Cloud
PlayOn Cloud is a DVR app you use on a phone or tablet. It lets you record shows from popular streaming services like Netflix, HBO Max, and others that you subscribe to and also some free channels as well like Pluto TV, Tubi TV, and The Roku Channel.
Credit packages purchased in bulk from PlayOn are pretty inexpensive. And then each time you record a show or movie to the PlayOn Cloud it will cost a single credit per movie or episode. Recordings made in HD cost 2 credits.
After a 7/days recordings are automatically deleted from the cloud. So if you want to keep any of your recorded shows or movies longer, you need to download them to your phone or tablet. But you can watch your recording either directly from the cloud through the PlayOn App.
Once downloaded, your recordings can also be watched directly on your device or by using AirPlay or Casting to watch them right on your big screen TV with your Roku, Android, or Apple TV media player.
