I have a Gen 4 Tablo that is in a wired configuration. I can successfully scan channels. When I select a OTA broadcast program in live mode it attempts to start the program (I see the rotating white circle) but goes back to the channel guide after a few seconds. I can watch Tablo channels in live mode from the guide with no problems. Not sure what to do next. I have performed multiple rescans but nothing works.

What device are you using? Roku?
Yes, I’m using Roku
Are you able to play back any recordings?
Which Roku OS version are you on?
In the Live TV grid you can play what is on an OTA channel by either clicking on the actual show or the channel number. Neither work?
Neither work. It gives a spinning circle, like its going to connect and goes back to the the guide

I dont have any recordings at the moment. I will record something and see if i can play it back
Not sure what roku I have but it’s newish, the 4k streaming stick
In the settings/system/about it should state what Roku OS (software version) you are running. And the roku model number.

I just got same issue on Roku after it updated to ver 14. My other two Roku devices on older software still work fine.
Not sure what you mean that you can click on ITA channel. Did you find a work around?
Hello,
Would you share with us, even if by DM, what program, what time, and what channel is involved?
It’ll help us investigate.

Similar for me. Roku ultra not yet on version 14.
I scroll to an OTA channel and the row goes blank and pressing the OK button does nothing.
Move over to the channel number and there is the spinning wheel, and then the OTA show after awhile, much longer wait than recently.
But some stations don’t work at all.
PS same stations were working OK yesterday and earlier today
PPS updating the guide going very slowly
IOS app working normally
I can go to the guide, click on any “tablo” channel and i can view the show. I click on any of the OTA channels, i click “go live”, i get a spinning circle and it goes back to the guide.
If i watch tv on my tablo app on my phone, i can watch all channels no issue.
2 weeks ago I had no issue viewing OTA channels and now i cant.
I have 2 different Rokus, one i could watch live OTA channels on(14.0 software) and the other I couldn’t watch live OTA ever (software 13.1.4 build 1512-91)
I have a roku 14.0 software and my other one 13.1.4 build 1512-91
Both don’t work with live OTA channels. 14.0 was able to view live OTA channels a couple weeks ago.
Mine scrolls for a few then goes directly back to the guide on all ota channels

I am having the same problem. It was working fine this morning. I’m on a Roku Ultra, software is 13.1.4. I can play recordings, see channels, but I can’t click on any shows. When I go to a channel I get a white box and it says loading data.

Yes. It appears that the Live TV grid white-out of the current program is back. But the play by channel number still works. And you can see the grid programming beyond what is currently playing.
But the few times I use linear viewing is by channel number. And I schedule everything via the guide. I also only have a total of 67 channels selected - both OTA and FAST.
I just updated my Roku 3800X to Roku OS 14.0 and now I can not watch OTA channels, when I select the OTA channel I want to watch, the screen goes black and takes me back to the Tablo guide. Anyone else having this problem?
