Re: [Underinvestigation] Live Channel Disappearing

Jump to solution

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.

Since you are aware of the problem I will not put in a tech support request.  Or should I ?

This is a Roku TV model 50R4A5R

• Device information: 50R4A5R, X01200XJTFJA

• Generate a tracking ID and let us know the Issue ID and GC version displayed on their screen. - You mean a support ticket?

@DesertDweller53 I think you are referring to a Roku streaming device.  I think she is referring to Roku TVs.

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.
