Channels & viewing

Any idea as to why my ota program guide now shows "No information" for every channel? The program info shows up if I actually select a channel to watch but no info on the channel guide

We appreciate you for reporting this to us, @UncleMin!

No worries! We'd be more than willing to look closely into your concern about seeing "No information" on your channel guide and find you the best resolution possible.

May we first know when did you start seeing this? Also, have you performed a system reboot (Settings > System > Power > System restart) to see if this will make any difference? If not, please provide us with the following details below so we can coordinate this with the relevant Roku team to further investigate and correct it:

• Roku device model, serial number, device ID, and current OS version. (this can all be found in Settings > System > About)
• Tracker ID (when you see this issue occur, press the Home button 5 times, followed by the Back button 5 times, and provide us with this ID)

We'll be anticipating your response!

Best regards,
Carly

Thank you @aw9182 for the advice. @RokuCarly - I have had the same issue for at least 2 months, and thanks to @aw9182 I was able to work around the problem.  In my case, for zip code 55912, I was missing 3.3, 3.4, 15.2, 15.3, 15.4, and 24.2.  In all cases, the channel guide for these channels were messed up for the last year + and repeated other channels in 3, 15, and 24 range, respectively.  When I changed the zip code to 55953 and re-scanned, I got them all back except 3.3 (ION tv - never watched).  For @RokuCarly, here's the info you requested. I'm convinced the problem is how the channel guide info is constructed for each zip code.

Model #ONN 100071700 , Serial # x0130025mw34 , device id s0d261c5mw34, OS 12.5.5 build 4174CT

"I'm convinced the problem is how the channel guide info is constructed for each zip code."

This was my conclusion as well. The problem is only affecting channels that have had bad channel guide info in the past.

We appreciate you for trying to perform a workaround by changing the zipcodes to stream your OTA channels and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

In this case, we will update our relevant team regarding your statement "I'm convinced the problem is how the channel guide info is constructed for each zip code." and will further clarify.

In the meantime, could you please confirm if this issue started happening after the software update or even before you started streaming your OTA channels? Also, kindly let us know your current Zip Code.

Moreover, kindly provide us with the Tracker ID (when you see this issue occur, press the Home button 5 times, followed by the Back button 5 times, and provide us with this ID).

Thank you @RokuCarly.

As @aw9182 agreed with my conclusion, it's really two issues. The first one, which existed ever since I bought the TV 2 years ago, was that certain channels always had bad channel info. The channels were exactly the ones in my previous post (3.3, 3.4, 15.2, 15.3, 15.4, and 24.2). The second issue was that the channels with the bad guide info disappeared 2-3 months ago. This would have been with the previous software version, I then updated to 12.5.5 build 4174CT, and the problem persisted.

I live in zip code 55912.  My tracker ID is 3Y-063-114
