There are dozens of models of Roku TVs. The instructions below cover the most popular models, but may not work for all.
These instructions are for a TCL-branded Roku TV, but also work for other brands of Roku TVs as well, as they all share very similar interfaces.
Each TV manufacturer uses a different term to describe a rescan. Most Roku TV's call their rescan function "Scan for Channels" or "Set up input"
TRY THESE FIRST. If you've been into your TV's settings before, these instructions should help you rescan your TV.
1. Select "Home" on your remote
2. Choose "Settings" from the menu on the left
3. In the Settings menu, select "TV Inputs."
4. Select "Antenna TV" (This may say "Broadcast TV" on some models)
5. Select "Set up input." (This may say "Scan for Channels" on some models)
