Channels & viewing

[sallchin]

Roku has contacted me and I have given them all appropriate information to correct the issue they simply refuse to do so. I am unclear as to why a company would intentionally desire to alter it's product to an unusable state when it's users are telling it not only the problem but the solution as well. I always thought Comcast cable company was the cross bearer for the worst company service ever but ROKU has nudged them out of first place by not listening to their tech savvy users...

All you have to do is disconnect from internet on the TV and do a channel scan... All the channels will scan in.... then reconnect to the internet and redo another channel scan and many channels disappear. If you never reconnect the TV to the internet you retain all the original cable channels that were scanned in

same thing onb oth my ROKU TVS just try it on any ROKU TV  youve already had multiple people tell u its the exact same on their TV after the operating system update. You don't need to put us through all the hoops and hurdles.. just try it on any ROKU TV in your team and its will work as described. its the operating system update that's causing the issue not a particular tv or remote control

My affair with Roku tvs is nearly over.  I, too, have spent hours working to deal with the issue Roku won’t or can’t recognize. I love mostly everything about them but can’t use them connected to the internet without losing nearly half of my cable channels. Most, but not all, of them are odd numbered. I tried removing internet access (We’re on a mesh network.) but that didn’t work for me. All Roku would need to do would be to provide an option to reject system updates. Of course, if advertising revenue is an issue, they have to decide whether losing customers in those cases they are unable or unwilling to correct is going to be most costly. Thank you for the time you spent providing a “fix” that might have worked.
