A recent update prevents users from getting over the air channels unless the TV is connected to the internet. They get a black or grey screen instead of the channel. Everything works only when the TV is connected to the internet. Roku states an update to correct the problem should be available in a few weeks. Apparently they're in no hurry. Of course you're need an internet connection to get the update.
Not connecting the TV to the internet is the main reason many people watch over the air TV. Some people have a relatively unreliable connection. If your Roku TV is connected to the internet but losses it, over the air channels are unavailable.
Another example of "don't update unless absolutely necessary". Today software updates are notorious for causing new problems with little or no improvement to anything. This is just one of many reasons people don't connect their TVs to the internet.
