Lost all antenna and live channels this evening

Jump to solution

The title says it all. We were watching Fox 23 on the antenna, went to Disney and Netflix for about an hour then attempted to return to the antenna channels but they were gone. The only channels shown are in the 2000+ range. The 40 antenna channels along with the streaming channels usually listed with them are gone. The only channels shown in the “manage channels” are the 2000+.  

- I unplugged the TV, waited about a minute and plugged it back in. No change

- I tried to rescan. Found 40 channels but cannot see them listed anywhere.

- I removed the antenna app(?), did a system restart and discovered antenna is no longer an option for inputs. Added “live tv” and scanned for channels. Found 40 but cannot see them listed anywhere. 

The device is a TCL Roku tv. software is version 11.5.0 build 4312. TV says it is current and unchanged since mid-December. Anyone know what’s going on or a fix?

Suddenly no OTA channels on TCL Roku

Jump to solution

Mid day 4-May 2023 ROKU stopped showing OTA channels.  I've tried re-scanning to no avail and checked my antenna on the same cable with my Plex account which has OTA channels (not an antenna problem).

Anyone else having this problem?

Same ....this just started. Roku shows only premium channels. No OTA or other basic streaming channels.

Same issue - TCL 5 series. Lost all live tv channels including OTA.

My Roku Express is having the same issue. 

Kind of bummed that I don't get OTA channels if Roku is having system wide issues.
