Re: [Underinvestigation] Live Channel Disappearing
It happened to me today at my mother's house. When I arrived the channel guide showed both antenna channels and streaming channels. Midway through the visit the antenna channels disappeared leaving only the streaming channels. I tried everything. Finally did a full factory reset. It did not help. My only solution was to Hide Streaming Channels. Then, and only then, could I see the OTA antenna channels. Please fix ASAP.

This is a Roku TV model 50R4A5R

Re: [Underinvestigation] Live Channel Disappearing
@DesertDweller53 I think you are referring to a Roku streaming device. I think she is referring to Roku TVs.

Re: [Underinvestigation] Live Channel Disappearing
Yes, I did try restarting. No change.
The TV was a gift to my mother a month ago. She asked me to come over and look at it because it was turning ON randomly without touching anything. Here is a complete chronology.
Troubleshooting turning on by itself
- Checked for system updates
- Rebooted TV
- Verified HDMI CEC was turned off - No input connections on TV at all (except OTA antenna), so HDMI CEC was already disabled.
- Verified FAST TV start was off - It was already disabled.
This is when I noticed the missing OTA antenna channels.
- Looked endlessly for some setting I could have tripped to no avail
- Went to manage all channels under Live TV input and enabled Hide Streaming Channels - Now the guide showed the OTA channels, but no streaming.
- Disabled Hide Streaming Channels and checked again. OTA channels gone again.
- Performed a full factory reset. Set the TV up all over again. No change.
