Over-the-air Channels Disappearing

I did a scan with my antenna plugged in. Found a bunch of channels and was watching some over-the-air tv. I went back a few days later and now the over-the-air channels are not showing. I read through some other posts and tried the “Hide Streaming Channels” option. No change. Now I’m rescanning for OTA channels. How do I get to see the OTA channels without having to rescan every time?

  • Welcome, GBY​ 

    Looks like you're having trouble with over-the-air channels disappearing. Thanks for trying to fix it by hiding the streaming channels.

    Try restarting your Roku TV by navigating to Settings > System > Power. If you don’t see a Power submenu, skip ahead and select System Restart instead. After the restart, rescan for channels and check if the issue continues.

    Hi there! GBY​ 

    In addition to what RokuSuzette​ mentioned, please note that the channels you receive on over-the-air Live TV can vary depending on your antenna's signal strength. Have you tried moving the antenna to a different location to see if the issue persists?
