When viewing the Roku Channel in a a browser there is no "Live TV" Channel Guide. See image.
Roku Channel home page in a browser. Notice there is no "Live TV" option
Should there be? (My assumption/guess would be no.)
Why would it only be associated with a Roku device/TV? I also don't see the "Live TV" selection on my Samsung TV.
The Roku channel is only one of many channels available on a Roku device. And a Roku TV contains both a Roku device, and an Over The Air tuner.
That doesn't answer my question. Why don't I have access to the Roku Channel Guide when viewing the Roku Channel in a browser. Select the following link to see what I am expecting to have access to.
I've had the same problem. I can't find the Live TV Channel Guide on The Roku Channel using a Fire TV or PC. The Roku Channel is my first experience with any Roku product and simply locating the guide has been a huge PIA. Is this what I can expect from Roku?
Most likely it is a license restriction that limits Live TV to the app only. Possibly because it's too easy to 'steal' video from a regular computer.
"When you launch The Roku Channel, a new “Live TV” tile will appear on the home screen. Simply click on the tile to access the guide."
To me this reads as though it's only available on a Roku device. No mention of the Live TV guide and any other method of accessing The Roku Channel is ever given.
