Broadcast TV scan not picking up all channels, wrong program guide

Jump to solution

The power board on my TCL Roku TV (Model # 65S41R) died in less than a year from purchase date. Warranty Support sent a tech who installed a new power board, and got the TV up and running. Of course all my stored data was wiped out, so I had to reinstall my Roku apps and rescan for OTA channels. The scan missed several channels, and the program guide now displays channel info for the adjacent and/or missing channel, not for the one that's highlighted. I restarted the TV and rescanned the broadcast channels, but no luck so far! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello All:

I finally resolved the problem by doing a factory reset through the "Settings" menu and rescanning for antenna channels. Of course it wiped out all my custom settings and also the apps that I had added and re-arranged, so I had to redo those all over again. But now all the OTA/Broadcast channels are showing up, accompanied by the correct Program Guide for each channel.

FYI, I had tried turning the power off and holding the on-TV power button down for 15 seconds (as suggested by TCL customer service) but that didn't resolve the issue.

Hope this info helps others
