Channels & viewing

[RokuJanadeeK]

Thanks for keeping us posted, @Rabidrat911.

We believe this outage should be fixed already. If it is still occurring on your device, may we know if you are trying to set up your Roku device's OTA channels? Do your other devices have this issue?

Please keep us informed.

Regards,
Janadee

Why I'm leery of ever getting a smart TV (in any way shape or form), I still watch OTA (Over The Air with an antenna).  I keep recapping the power supplies & fixing what I can on my older flat screens as they seem more robust, & closer to a TV than a Computer.

The Roku Sticks, & boxes I have discovered are wonderful accessories or "components" to older sets, but I like to keep the set itself not integrated with the smart or internet device.  

I'm actually in a fringe viewing area (meaning I have somewhat difficulty picking up my local TV channels now, especially since the last FCC Repack).  I would be OK if the Manufactures even left the TV Tuner itself out of the set, & buy as a separate component, as there is a difference in TV tuners.

I went to system> Network Connection reset. That worked for me.

I just tried all the tips for restoring my channels, short of a total factory reset. Is there anything else I should try based on the following information from the Issue Report Tracker?

Model—5401X Roku TV

S/N—2N00HA760778 (5UA59H760778)

Software Version —13.1.4 • build 1510-20

GC Version —12.0.14 

Timestamp: 2024-09-06T00:21:00Z

ID 78-358-581

Any help will be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you!

Tried all suggestions, rescan, network reset etc. Just want to see antenna coax input, not all the other garbage.

I used to have local channels on my Roku. Now I am presented with it looks like hundreds of online channels that I have no interest in. I cannot find my local channels. Why do you clowns insist on pushing this **bleep** onto me? I have no desire to watch your your online garbage. I want my f****** local channels. What the f*** is wrong with you people? Call me. Don. 541-915-3062 can you prove that roco is anything more than a joke? Do you listen to your customers?

Do not select the LiveTV from the side menu. (those are streaming channels).

If you have a RokuTV (as opposed to a Roku device connected to the TV via HDMI), then look for a tile icon on the Home Screen amongst the apps also called LiveTV. (this is actually an "input" called LiveTV).

To watch locals/antenna/OTA content, you need to select this input.

----

If your Live Input is missing, enable it under Settings/TV Inputs.

To rename this input (ie. Antenna TV), rename it under Settings/TV Inputs/Rename

To hide the streaming channels, hide them under Settings/TV Inputs/Manage channels/Hide Streaming Channels.
