    There is a “Live TV” tile and when I opened it today, the channels are still there. Previously they disappeared each time I turned off the tv or navigated to different screens. Thank you!

    John, I have the same issue but can confirm your solution.  Please pass it on.

    If I open the guide by selecting Home > Live TV > Live Guide I only see the streaming channels.  Even if I have them "unselected".

    If I open the guide by selecting Home and then scroll to the Live Guide tile under Apps & Inputs I can see antenna & streaming channels.

    Hope this helps,

    Paolo
