Re: No basic broadcast channels (ABC, CBS, NBC, etc)

Thanks. That's a good workaround.
As always, we're left with complete inaction by Roku itself.

Same for cable - have to disconnect from the internet

PERFECT WilliamT100!

I did as you recommended and didn't even have to redo the cable search.

I'm wondering what ROKU's stock is going to look like after this fiasco.

Thanks. This seems to work. The Roku recommendations didn't work but this worked instantly.

I figured it out. Use your iPhone as a remote control. 

Download Roku app

Link your iPhone to the TV

at the top, click on Live TV

And you’ll get the broadcast channels.

On my Roku TV why can't I get NBC ABC or Fox live at 7:00 when my shows come on regular TV what do I have to do to get them

Do you have an antenna, that's how I get all the major broadcast channels.
