I reinstalled Newmax Channel/app again today to see if working since I had removed it and just watch it through RumbleTV or Roku Channel 150.
Mountain Time 9:50pm Roku Ultra 4660
After I reinstalled it - still no LiveTV box or left arrow trick. I pressed * button on remote and "Check for Updates". The Newsmax Channel updated. No Live TV box but the left arrow trick worked and launched LiveTV. I then restarted the Roku device. Still no LiveTV box and left arrow trick again did not work. pressed * button and an update was again available. This time LiveTV box was available and worked as well as left arrow trick.
However, each time I exited the Newsmax Channel, the LiveTV box was again missing when I rentered/launched the Channel/app. I simply exited Channel, pressed the *button and updated the Channel and then LiveTV box becomes available.
So it looks like the developers are making progress. Maybe will be fixed soon as you should not have to update Channel/app everytime you watch it.

Removed Newsmax Channel, performed a System Restart, Reinstalled Newsmax Channel. It now seems to be fixed (as least for now) as the LiveTV Box is present/remains present after exiting and re-launching Channel/app multiple times. Also rebooted Roku multiple times and all seems good now.
Hopefully, you all are good to go until next time.
We are having same issue. Found that as you are in Newsmax app, go to their "Search", type in "live" and the icon/box "Newsmax TV Live" box populates at the bottom left. Toggle to "Newsmax TV Live" stream box and click "Ok". This works for us for now.
