disppearing local channels possible workaround

Hi all,

This is my 1st roku and I was definitely going to pull my hair out trying to listen to my morning news.

I have an antenna in the back and scanned for local channels and "hid the internet channels"{I think its called}. My locals showed up but they would disappear whenever I turned the TV off or went to live tv.

BUT if I used my app remote and hit the home screen Poof there they were, I even saw a label antenna channels suddenly. I also activated the last channel on start up or something to that effect.

I still miss my number remote but this is way better. If I fig out more I'll add

Re: disppearing local channels possible workaround

Hi @RV1966,

Welcome to the Roku Community!

We understand you are having trouble with your antenna channels, which disappeared after turning the TV off or going to Live TV. No worries; we're here to sort this out for you.

May we know if you are selecting the "LiveTV" tile on the Home Screen located with the apps/channels or the "LiveTV" menu item from the Home Screen Menu on the left side?

Note: If you select LiveTV from the left-side menu, you will not get your Antenna/over-the-air/locals. You need to select the tile to see and receive them.

Please keep us posted on how this works for you, and we'll continue assisting you from there.

Thanks,
Chel
