I know I’ve reported this multiple times over the years but “RESCAN” does NOT work. The only way to successfully rescan OTA stations is to delete ALL the tuners and re=add them. I have 8 tuners and received 100+ stations. This takes a LOT OF EFFORT. It used to work fine YEARS ago before the UI update for the tuner management. I use Hauppauge Quad PCI tuners on a W10 machine.
Is there ANY hope of fixing this? I realize y’all are spending a LOT of effort destroying the ROKU UI but maybe you ought to focus on functionality.
EXTREMELY frustrated PLEX user.
