The Roku channel problem with live TV.

When I enter the Roku channel app in the live TV section, the channel list appears empty, including in favorites, recent channels, and all channels—it’s completely blank. When I try to change the channel, it only lets me stay on the same channel, which is the MLB channel.

  2. Scroll and select Settings
  3. Select System
  4. Select Power. If you do not see a Power submenu, skip to the next step.
