OWN app on ROKU

Trying to complete authentic ovation process so I can watch the OWN channel on Roku. Yes, I already have an active FIOS account with this channel. However, Verizon FIOS is not listed amongst the long list of providers. What’s up with that? Is Verizon banning this an option for me. Why am I using this option? Because their DVR service is too expensive and I can watch missed shows quicker via Roku than I can using the FIOS on demand access.  Anyone can offer some insight on my dilemma?? Greatly appreciated!

It is possible the OWN is not accessible off Verizon’s own lineup. Not all stand alone apps can be authenticated with your paid service provider.

There should be a drop down list of which if Fios is part of the process, it will or should be listed there.

I know when I access the stand alone apps for DirectTVNOW it shows up separate from directtv on the second list.

Verizon does not have access to any of the Discovery family of channels (of which OWN is one).

No idea why.
