Channels & viewing

I'm trying to play some Sonic 2 on my SEGA Genesis, but I couldn't find channel 3 and 4. Does anyone know why?

One issue with most Roku TV's is that you cannot directly type in numbers. You may have to do an antenna scan with the Genesis active. But, that may still not work as many newer TV's no longer support analog RF channels. You may have to get an adapter to convert the RF output of your Genesis to something else. Plus, some Googling shows that the Genesis also has a composite output.

@Briceterry @andyross Roku did an update to live TV and many people are reporting problems with accessing channels over the antenna which is essentialy what you are doing with your SEGA.  Roku is aware of the problem.  Some have reported that disconnecting the Roku from Wifi will restore the antenna channels then turn the wifi back on when you want to use other apps.  I have several Roku TVs but I don't have anything connected to my coaxial input so I can not test.

@Briceterry Others have reported this worked

 Go to Settings->TV Inputs->Live TV->Manage Channels-> check the "Hide Streaming Channels" box

Again I can not test because I do not use the coaxial input and I can not setup the Live TV input so I have no option under settings > TV inputs > Live TV   to manage channels

Connect your SEGA to the antenna jack, turn the SEGA ON, then do a channel scan. It will add channel 4 or 3 depending on what the SEGA is set to.
