No Main menu button on remote

I know this should be easy BUT I am 80 and no capisco niente

Yesterday, many of my live tv channels disappeared - when I tried to retune my tv, I found that my JVC remote does not have a button for Main menu - can anyone explain, in plain English, how to retune my Roku TV?

    The "Main Menu" on a RokuTV or Roku device is accessed through the "Settings" menu which is found on the Home Screen.

    1. Press the Home Button on your RokuTV remote. (this will return you to the Home Screen).

    2. Scroll up or down (using the arrow buttons) to Settings.

    3. Select TV Inputs, then Live TV, then Scan for Channels.

    ----

    After scanning is complete, return to the Home Screen (press Home on remote), and select the "LiveTV" tile from the Home Screen in order to watch your locals/antenna channels. 

    The Live TV tile on the Home Screen is for local/antenna.  The Live TV found in the left side menu is for Streaming Channels (no local/antenna included there).

    ---

    When I used my RokuTV, I preferred to rename this LiveTV tile to "Antenna" in order to differentiate from other LiveTV (ie. Roku streaming channels), so I renamed it through the settings.

    In order to rename, go to Settings/TV Inputs/Live TV/Rename

      Hi there,
       
      Thanks for your reply [BUT - I already know that I screwed up doing a Factory reset - my wife keeps telling me! endlessly] but there is no Main button on my remote.
       
      Having done that [and been there], I now have  a Roku TV that works for Sky and Live TV [+ several other freebies (sort of)] BUT her favourite radio station [BBC Radio Sussex] has disappeared and I can not find a way to add it back - every time I try, the TV won't do what I want [where is the Favourites button on my remote?].  It constantly says [and in iPlayer] that the program is not available, but it is present on other tv s linked to the same roof aerial.  It's all very odd!
       
      I would love to throw this TV in the bin, but she won't allow that either!
       
      I spoke to Curry's technical Support, and they will collect the TV for repair BUT they will not supply a replacement - so we will be without our main tv for a couple of weeks.  "She who must be obeyed" vetoed that idea too, in short order
       
      Can you please help [in lay English].  How do I add back Radio Sussex [Channel 720, 95.3MHz and 104.5, and 104.8] without tearing out what little hair I have left?
       
      Best regards

        Hi

        Thanks again for your help BUT I have solved the problem anyway. My wife was looking for BBC Radio Sussex on channel 720.  Little did we know, but Freeview changed all the 720's to 712 on 17th July.  So, a rescan of the Roku TV actually found the correct program but we were looking in the wrong place.  All's well [so far] and I have signed up to Freeview's weekly newsletter so that I can be kept informed of the changes.

        Thanks again
