Channels not showing up after being added to favorites

Jump to solution

Why do I have to scan again to get my local channels back? I've saved them and they still disappear.

Hi @afoster,

Welcome to the Roku Community!

After successfully scanning channels on your antenna. You can try to change your power-on options in the settings to be prompted directly to your last watch. You can follow the steps below to fix this concern:

  1. Go to Settings.
  2. System
  3. Power
  4. Power on
  5. Set to Live TV or Last used TV input.

Also, if you don't see the antenna shortcut tile on your home screen, you can add it by going to Settings > TV inputs > Antenna TV > Set up input.

Note: When you select the Antenna Input from the Home Screen, you see Streaming Channels listed as well; you can hide those if you wish by going into Settings > TV Input > Manage Channels > Hide Streaming Channels.

Please keep us posted on what you find out.

All the best,
Chel
