Did your TV antenna channels disappear on your Roku Smart TV. if so here is how you fix it.

So I got a phone call this morning from one of my cousins who uses TV antenna and none of our local channels were there.
and her family enjoys Watching MeTV on 10.3.
I run a Facebook page called SooAntenna.
So my friend Trevor and I looked at the settings and realize we have to take off the IP internet channels just to make the antenna work again
I'm not sure if this was a mistake in an update Roku did yesterday or last night because I think my antenna was working yesterday or the day before. Or Roku is trying to hide Free TV antenna channels. who knows
Or just a mistake with our postal code / zip code
Anybody else in my area having the same problem with the same or similar TV.

    Thanks! I was looking for this video. What I had to do was checked "hide streaming channels" first. Then I rescanned my channels under the cable option, because I have a cable connection. That restored my local and antenna channels, then I went back into settings and un - checked "hide streaming channels" and now everything is back like before. I have CNN, MSNBC, Bravo and others back! Thanks so much for sharing.

    You’re welcome happy to hear it worked for you. Now I’m having a new problem it’s locked out certain channels I had to resort to using a ATSC converter box I was gonna make a video in the future talking about it. Pretty cool you could still hook up a cable connection to your TV in your area. in my area. It has not been like that in about 10 years you need a cable box here and if you don’t use one, you just get one test pattern and channel now. And a couple of years ago you got a couple of music channels now you get nothing.

    Hey, you’re welcome I noticed a lot of modern day smart TVs are like this. antenna channels and IP channels together like for example LG. not sure how to turn off on LG but I’ve set up a couple of TV antennas on LG TVs for people I noticed for some people, including myself. It’s now a little bit harder to access the smart IP Roku channels, but my family mainly uses Pluto nowadays anyway. Mixed feelings I kind of liked it and didn’t like it together and not together. I guess it matters what I’m trying to do and trying to watch. Anyway, thanks for watching and commenting

    Thanks !! I tried calling Roku but there was an hour and a half wait to talk to someone . This is badly designed software . The broadcast channels should be in a different icon from the streaming channels. This occurred in a new Westinghouse Roku TV in the mid Atlantic East Coast of the US

    Cool thanks for letting me know and didn’t know Westinghouse made Roku TVs? I like having both of them combined especially for my family. It was just easier but now it doesn’t work. But I do like the idea of having it in two separate apps /channels, in case you don’t want to combine them. I myself personally would probably not want to combine them unless I was setting up a TV for a friend or relative or a senior citizen. They do have it separate, but you have to dig through the Roku TV channel app then you find the live channels. don’t know why they went that route like you said just have a separate input or app basically for the live IP channels And you were on hold for that long feels like contacting a Internet or cable company.

    Hit and miss with everybody. I called Roku a couple of days ago. I haven’t tried calling them back yet because I’m not feeling the greatest at the moment and barely have a voice but I got disconnected when they called me back. For me, I’m having a similar problem all my other TVs and antenna boxes in the house are getting all my channels the Roku TV for some reason is hiding some of my channels like the TV right next to my Roku tv has 10.1 to 10.7 but the Roku TV is only getting 10.1 10.2 I’m not really sure what’s going on why they keep changing things and they’re messing around with the channel mapping and messing with the TV and tennis stuff. I think this is borderline legal because the tampering with free television. I’m gonna try to make an update video soon

    @debbiegolden-alvarez9555 this work for some people and it didn’t work for others I noticed. a cable box wouldn’t work for TV antenna stuff you could probably go to Walmart and buy a ATSC converter box. They usually range between $20-$60. But at this point, I would just contact Roku and tell them the issue and tell them multiple people are having this issue. Why would we need to buy a digital box for a digital TV? The main reason why we got new TVs to begin with. Thank you for watching and commenting. Sorry it didn’t work for you.

    Yeah, I feel kind of the same way right now for Roku until they fix this problem if they fix this problem. Are you able to hide the IP channels to get the antenna channels working? Did you happen to get the channels working or every time you turn on the TV or reset TV they disappear? Might need a converter box temporarily sadly, and didn’t think I’d be saying that nowadays with new TVs I don’t see a person buying a brand new TV unless they use it for antenna only.
