When I switch over to OTA TV through the Roku/TCL menu and select the OTA NBC & Fox local channels, the audio is worse than it's ever been. I've decided to use the Roku/TCL menu for streaming channels and apps, and when I want to watch OTA channels, I power on the iKonvert digital tuner and use that remote control and menu. It's more complicated than it should have to be, but it works.
Thanks for your reply. I don't think I'll buy a new tuner, I'll just have to live with it for now. At least there's other people who are experiencing the same issue so hopefully Roku will eventually try to fix the problem.
