I have used the live tv pause with a flash drive since I bought my Roku TV about one year ago and it's always worked but suddenly, a couple of days ago I noticed it wasn't working. I thought maybe it was the USB flash drive so I bought a new one and nope, doesn't work. I've tried updating, unplugging everything, etc. and nothing is fixing the issue. This is one of the features I liked about this TV and now it doesn't work? Lovely. This is the last time I'll buy one of these televisions.
Since you've already unplugged, reset, etc, there is one more thing to try, which may or may not be a solution. I notice that the antenna scannning routine appears to have changed in the new release 10. I would try rescanning the antenna channels, then, at the end of the scanning process, it asks if you want to activate Live TV pause. Follow the instructions there, with the new USB drive installed. I don't know that this will help, but, with as flakey as the Roku code seems to be, this is worth at least a try before you give up completely.
Thanks for the suggestion but I've already done that...twice. LOL
I think my next step will be to remove the flash drive, scan for channels, skip activating Live TV pause, shut off the TV and then try it all again. Beyond that I don't know that there's much more I can do. This is beyond annoying.
I have wasted too much time on trying to get a USB drive to work.
My solution has been to use a high endurance micro sd card with a USB adapter. So far no problems in about a year.
Hope this helps, good luck. Yes, beyond annoyingWell, as luck would have it, shutting the TV off for several hours seems to have done the trick. Who knew? LOL
Now I'll hold my breath every time I pause tv and hope it works. Good luck to everyone who's also dealing with this! I'll just be here with my fingers crossed.
