roku and epix not working for me?

[2001kx]

i have epix, epix2, epix3 that i can watch on my tv/dish but i cant view them on my roku.

when i click to watch a movie on my roku/epix it goes black for a 1/2 second like it going to load but then returns to the original preview screen.

when i go to the epix site it shows this as well

Are you trying to sign up to Epix or trying to use you Dish login to sign in?

That is a problem with the connection... The black screen.
That happened to me with Epix and with Crackle on the Roku. I clicked the movie, loading and then black and then again the screen to select play, over and over again. But then noticed that it was the connection.

Epix is in Free preview, you may not be able to access the site if you are not subscribed to it.

Are AT250 subs able to access Epix on Roku? Epix Drive-In is part of AT250.

Sarcasam noted. Still the answer is no.

You can however go to epix online and get a free 2 week trial.Works great on the roku,and 2 weeks is plenty enough time to watch their main library.

You can watch over 3,300 movies in two weeks? Do you sleep at all?

I'm not sure you can with just AT250. If you look at DishOnLine, you will see that EPIX and EPIX Drive In are listed separately. You may get only Drive In by logging on to EPIX HD site as well.

Yeah, I got that too. I think it was the movie "Going Ape" that it happened to me.
