When changing antenna channel it keeps the video of the previous channel

Jump to solution

Since yesterday, I haven't been able to change the antenna channel without it keeping the video from the previous channel

Ex. I am in channel 50 and the video is of channel 50 but when I change to channel 7, the video of channel 50 stays but it shows that it changes.

I have a onn. Roku tv model 100012589

I have the exact same issue.

This time yesterday, all working fine.

Now, changing to any channel just leaves the audio/video of the channel that was selected when I start the "Live TV" app.

If I change from, say channel 11, to channel 13, then I still get channel 11.  If I then exit the "Live TV" app and then start it again, THEN i will be on channel 13 (and ONLY ch 13 until i exit again).

 

Device type: 49" TCL Roku TV

Serial number: YS000D599348

Same here. I noticed that when I'm viewing a streaming channel on live tv and try to change to a broadcast station it keeps the streaming video/audio even though the channel changes. This started today for me, but could have last night had I been watching live tv.

interesting....

i usually have the streaming channels turned "off" for the "Live TV" app, so my previous post is about antenna channels.

however... i just turned "on" the streaming channels.  i CAN change normally between streaming channels.  but if i change from say streaming 1159 to say antenna 11.1, then i still see the streaming channel 1159.

Cannot change channels - Antenna channels

Jump to solution

Sometime today, 3 Roku tvs stopped having the ability to change channels to antenna channels.   All 3 tvs works until 2-3pm today (Nov 20, 2024).   In the channel guide we can sometimes see the channels but when you select one, the display shows the channel info on the bottom but the channel does not change.   Reset to factory, rescan channels, no change.   
We have a LG tv on the same antenna that works perfectly, so NOT an antenna issue.  Only TVs that do not work properly are Roku (2 TCL and 1 Insignia).  
Streaming channels work on all TV.

Having the same problem. It started around noon today.  Is there any solution?  So frustrating!

I'm having the same issue. Over the air antenna only. Whichever channel I start on in the guide, that's the only channel I that I can watch as I switch between antenna channels. All channel info shows correctly, but it shows the programming from the initial channel. Just started today 11/20/24. 

I have two Roku TVs and they're both doing it. They're also on the same account for what it's worth.
