Hello. I am working on my first channel. i have created the package and published it under a private channel. It has been added to my roku box and i can see the channel under channel store, my channels. When i try to add it by clicking go to channel the screen flashes " please wait" but nothing happens. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
