Sign out of your account:

Temporarily removing the channel you are having a problem with, on a Roku device, is known to fix a problem or two. Hover over the SYFY app tile on the Roku home page. Press the * button on the remote and select “Remove channel” from the options. After Removing SYFY from your Roku, add it again and open it. Check if the problem is fixed.
Hard reset your device:

Keep the cable unplugged for a good minute. Then plug the cable back and turn on the Roku. Open the SYFY app to check if it works.
