Original story (published on July 25, 2022) follows:

Founded in May of 2008, Roku is a platform that lets its users watch media from different streaming services. Used by millions worldwide, Roku offers powerful feature-packed media streaming devices at an affordable price.

Roku has a wide variety of content from streaming services such as Netflix, Hulu, Disney Plus, and HBO Max. You can also enjoy music from streaming platforms like Spotify or Pandora.

As per multiple reports, users are unable to access the Live from Israel Tv app or the channel is not working on Roku. Some of them tried reinstalling it on Roku but couldn’t do it.

This is the second time Roku deleted an Israeli news Channel, First was IsraTV and now Israelive tv. Why is there an issue here when this is the only place we can watch the news live. Roku is supposed to be a new source in cutting the cable but this is a tremendous disappointment to thousands of people. Rating 1 out of 10 !!

The IsraTV channel was removed because it was not certified – but the author said he might still do that.

The replacement channel we’ve all been using since, i.e. Live from Israel, was certified. That’s why it continued to work after February. So why it was removed?!
