There was no option for antenna but I tried Live tv and it did power up on antenna tv. Thanks for that. Not sure why the antenna icon had to disappear.

If you go to Settings/TV Inputs/Rename you can rename this input and change the icon back to an antenna.

Following the instructions, there is no "Select Inputs" on the menu.  What do you do to get your local TV channels, with the same programing as with a regular antenna TV.  You used to be able to select "Antenna TV from the Roku menu.  Now, the Roku software has been altered so you can't get the real antenna TV and a channel guide anymore.

@bgbevan just need to confirm: you are referring to a Roku TV, not a Roku player? Can you provide the device's model number?
