Losing Antenna Channels and getting worse

I've owned my TCL Roku for several years, but in early 2024 I began encountering the issue that every time I turned my TV off and on again, my antenna channels would disappear from the Live TV guide, and I would have to rescan to see them again.  Even though I had some of my antenna channels marked as favorites they would disappear from the favorites list.  After I rescan for my antenna channels, they reappear on my favorites list.  

 

Recently it's gotten so bad that even if I'm watching an antenna channel, then I watch another streaming app, and go back to live tv WITHOUT turning the tv off, they STILL disappear until I rescan.  

 

I've tried all the steps provided on similar posts including restarting, adding favorites, even making sure my Roku version is up to date.  This is getting very frustrating!  Is anyone at Roku actually working on this issue because it's clearly not just happening to me.

Re: Losing Antenna Channels and getting worse

Hi, @AlecG!

Greetings from the Roku Community!

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Rest assured that we'll coordinate this with the relevant team for review. 

In order to narrow down the cause of the issue, we would appreciate it if you could share with us your device details such as follows:

  • Roku device model, serial number, device ID, and current software 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)

Your update is highly anticipated.

Best regards,
Carly
