On my Roku TV, there used to be an "Antenna Tv" button for my over the air antenna on the home sceen, but now that button is gone. When I went to TV inputs in Settings, there is no option listed to add the button back. How do I add this back?

Hi @Redfox1,

Greetings from the Roku Community!

We understand you're having issues with the antenna icon missing on Roku. This Antenna Icon and its name were changed to LiveTV.

You can rename this Input again and change its icon after selecting it either under Setup Input (after selecting it from "Inputs Not Being Used") or by navigating to Settings > TV Inputs > Rename. (From here, you can choose from pre-named selections and icons or set a custom name and icon.

Please keep us posted on what you find out, and we'll continue assisting you from there.

All the best,
Chel

Same thing is happening to me. I also don't have a t.v. input button.

I figured out what happened. Roku's Live TV channel is now the button you need to use for local channels from your antenna. But go into settings and click the option for no streaming channels. Then will take out all of the "Roku Live TV" stuff and just show you your local channels. I am not a fan that Roku has done this without explaining it.

Have a Samsung smart tv.  Added Roku device to it.  Connected Terk HDTV antenna to tv but now not sure what’s next.  Only help I find is if we have a Roku TV & we do not!  Any help would be appreciated!

@Mamoo55, an antenna and a Roku device other than an actual Roku TV have nothing to do with each other.  You use the Samsung's remote and user interface to watch antenna channels and the Roku's remote and user interface to watch content on Roku apps.  Connecting a Roku device to a TV is pretty much the same thing as connecting something like a Blu-ray player.

I have no idea what to do with the Samsung remote and "user interface" to watch free local antenna channels.  It may be a smart TV but I guess I'm not so smart and do not know how to do what you are talking about.  I've gone thru Samsung E Manual but can't find a place to 'add antenna' and then have it scan for local available channels to add to the tv, and then wouldn't know where to find them.  Guy at Best Buy said it's very easy to set up - should have gotten his cell number to get help from him I guess.  Thanks.

@Mamoo55, don't confuse Roku instructions with Samsung instructions.  As I said previously, the Roku device has absolutely nothing to do with watching antenna channels on your Samsung TV.  See if this article helps:

If it doesn't, try Samsung for support.
