Anyone else picking up a TON of channels OTA tonight?
Besides the typical 5.2, 8.1, etc there are a lot of channels showing up in the "hundreds."

We haven't changed any setup in years.

So my setup is a Roku TCL tv.

It looks like these are from the "Roku Channel" and are showing up as channels under my antenna input. I've never opened the Roku channel app before but it's like they were sucked into the antenna listing.

Hot news, I know.

Samsung smart TVs do the same thing. Apparently they have broadcast rights to a bunch of streaming channels and they present them as OTA channels. Some of them are duplicates of channels that are actually broadcast OTA in our market, like BUZZR and COZI etc.
