How to Fix Roku TV Not Finding Antenna Channels
Unfortunately, not finding channels isn’t usually traceable to a single component or single likely issue, but there are many tried-and-true methods of resolving these kinds of issues.
You’ll need to make sure your antenna signal strength isn’t the problem. If you have a weak signal, you may fail to find channels as well as experience constant buffering and low-quality streams. Considering moving your TV to another room to see if anything improves or moving your antenna into a location free from as many close objects as possible.
If this isn’t your issue, there are a number of other steps you can take to try to fix your Roku TV not finding antenna channels.
Like always with electronics, the first step is to reboot your Roku TV to see if your issue goes away. If you have a partly-functioning remote, it can make you think there are more serious problems with your TV than there really are. Check to make sure your remote is working properly. If your Roku is too long out-of-date, you may experience any variety of issues. Update your Roku TV, and look to see if the problem is resolved. Especially after trying out the above, rescanning for channels can sometimes fix channels not appearing. As a last resort, you can reset your Roku TV to factory defaults, which can solve a bunch of different problems. After doing this, you may need to update your device again as well as scan for channels again.
A Note on Location for Roku TV Antenna Channels
Depending on your geographic location and not just the specific positioning of your TV in your home as well as the weather, you may experience signal interference from time to time that interrupts the signal reaching your internal tuner in your Roku TV.
If you’re suddenly experiencing an issue after, for example, a long time without any issues, interference is a likely cause. Consider looking up online if other people in your local area are experiencing similar issues.
Alternatively, consider waiting a day or two and then attempting to rescan for channels. If there was a signal interference problem, it will eventually go away and your connection will return to normal.
