Re: AirTV OTA playback broken after latest update

I have the same issue.

I have 3 32" TCL Roku TV's with the Sling app that are on WIFI that work fine and one Roku Ultra  to AirTV 2  HDMI cabled to the primary living room  70" TV that won't play OTA  channels  or the OTA DVR.

Why the 3 TCL Roku TV's still work? Maybe they hadn't received the updates yet? Or different Roku software? I don't know.

I called Sling AirTV's number and the responce was "it's a Roku issue" .and said others are ok.

So! I ordered a FireTV from Amazon. for 15 dollars to try on the primary TV. It will be here Tuesday.

Looks like ROKU-Sling OTA restored @ 0600 EST (11/20/22). Fingers crossed software patch fixed this.

Re: AirTV OTA playback broken after latest update

As noted, this was probably NOT a Roku issue. It was probably an issue with Sling and either a software update or even just configuration of their servers on handling certain devices properly. YouTube has often had issues where certain features disappear on some devices for several hours.
