Antenna Resolution Description Gone

 

The current information below that appears when an antenna channel is selected no longer shows the DPI's (Resolution) on my ROKU TV.   I used to see it as below but a week ago the value for the resolution disappeared.  How can I get it back?  I have tried every thing -- rescanning the channels, reconnecting my WIFI, checked updates, resetting the system and software and finally a Factory Reset.  Could this be a ROKU problem?

Re: Antenna Resolution Description Gone

Welcome to the Roku Community, @shakoun!

Thanks for letting us know about your antenna resolution problem. We're happy to help. You may be able to receive free “over-the-air” TV broadcasts from nearby TV stations, depending on where you live, using an HDTV antenna. The placement of your HDTV antenna can affect which TV stations you can receive and the quality of the signal. You can refer to the webpage Antenna Web for more information on accessing broadcast TV in your area.

Please let us know if there's anything else we can help you with.

Best,
The Roku Community Team

Re: Antenna Resolution Description Gone

John--I am not having a problem receiving local broadcast stations.  In fact my antenna is getting me over 40 channels.  The only problem is I am no longer being told the resolution as is shown in a screen capture from a You Tube video in my original post.  Could this be caused by a ROKU upgrade? Up until a few weeks ago I did see it but about a week ago it disappeared.
