Me either. I used to have an antenna option & it's gone. Roku TV.

"Note: If Live TV is missing, you can add it by going to Settings > TV inputs > Live TV >Set up input"

There is no longer an option for antenna in settings. Used to be. Roku TV. Where did it go?

This was the worst advice. You didn't tell me anything and didn't fix my issue.

I do not have an antenna option under system/power. I have an AV option.

I followed those instructions, but when I go back to the live TV guide, the local stations are hidden. When I go to manage channels, the local channels are there and you can see the feed.

Roku hired imbeciles to update their software and decided to f*ck up all older models.

Hi Community users!

Greetings from the Roku Community.

It has come to our attention that the OTA Live TV channels are missing from your Home screen. No worries! We'd like to suggest some steps you could try.

If Live TV is missing, you can add it by going to Settings > TV inputs > Live TV >Set up input. However, if the option available for the "Set up input" is "Rescan for channels," this means that your OTA Live TV channels have already been set up. 

In the meantime, could you please try looking for the "Live TV Guide" icon instead of the "Live TV" icon on The Roku Channel to see if this makes any difference? 

We'll be looking forward to your update.

Best regards,
Carly

Re: Unable to see local channels

I think by local you mean OTA.   I have two different ROKU tvs ( TLC and Hisense) where the OTA channels disappeared from the Live TV Guide.  This is the solution I found (you don't need to reset the TV). Do Settings > TV inputs > Live TV > Rename .  Select Antenna TV.   After this you may have to scan for OTA channels again.  Under Antenna TV settings select Hide streaming channels (i.e. check box.)  Now on the Home screen you will have under Apps & Inpits "Antenna TV".  This will have a guide for all OTA channels.  Works on both TVs.

I did this after OTA channels keep going away in Live TV Guide.  It's better to have OTA channels under "Antenna TV" guide.
