There needs to be a way to manual add tv channels to the lineup on Roku TVs. I have two Roku TVs connected to a cable system that has several channels that don’t show up after a scan. There are other TVs in the house that do find the channels. The only thing that I can see is that the missing channels take a little longer to show video when you tune to them on the regular TVs. So we need a way to manually add them or extended the detection time on the Roku tvs.

I agree, it's frustrating that the only way to add a channel is to rescan the entire spectrum. They also need an on-screen direct access keyboard to manually enter a channel number, such as 22-4. I've complained about it, but so far fallen on deaf ears.

I agree!!!

Agree. I'll be returning this TV if there is not a fix. Remote without a keyboard?

I have an outside antenna with a rotor. The received channels are different depending on the direction of the antenna.  Therefore a single scan will not find all the channels and I don't have access to the others.

Yep, an excellent reason to be able to scan without removing existing channels, or to be able to manually add them.
