Roku smart TV and Roku ‘live tv’

I have a Roku smart tv and I have successfully connected my satellite cable via the coaxial cable for more than 10+ years.  Yesterday Roku suddenly launched Roku ‘live tv’ and it’s overtaken my satellite input and now will only play ‘Roku live tv’.  When I work to remove the input to re-connect my satellite, it simply finds and re-activates the Roku ‘live tv’.  *note- using an hdmi cable is not an option

      Hello,

      I have a similar problem with my Dish Network. I am connected via coax in the upstairs from the Dish receiver in the basement. Suddenly today, I went to streaming from the Dish satellite input and it went directly to the Roku live TV feed and won't open my satellite input. I restarted my 43s525 via unplugging, went right back to live tv.....restarted my Dish receiver, same response. I can't get channel 60 or 62, which are the channels to access Dish, it goes right to live tv channel 115. I then rebooted my Verizon modem and bingo, it showed channels 60 and 62. SO I opened up the satellite input and I was on Dish, only thing was my picture was out of size whether or not I tried changing from normal, stretch, etc. Then suddenly, it went back to channel 115 on live tv. So I rebooted my modem again, and it showed 60 and 62 for a moment then went back to channel 115 on live tv.

       

      Any suggestions?

        I am unable to locate channel 60 or 62 in the channel lineup, which is the way I am able to watch my dish satellite channels on the roku tv.  I noticed there was a software update to the roku tv today and now suddenly I can't get the channels needed to connect to my dish network satellite.  I hope this gets resolved soon.  I have tried searching for channels, but those channels never appear on the channel lineup.  I can't watch my dish network channels without channels 60 or 62!!!
