I had a Roku player since 2010 and updated it in 2014 and now have a Roku TV and one in another room. I love it. Everything where you need it and no cable. Just antenna TV and then the streaming channels. You control what you watch. It's great.

Question, I'm new to Roku and just bought an outside antenna; but, it appears that the antenna channels that I receive are mixed in with the Roku Live TV. Is this correct? Also, with Roku I can receive CBS, NBC, & ABC - so why do I need an antenna?

@sodapop4244 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you so much, you gave the exact information to get to the tv Guide list to see all the channels It’s now looking like the TV guide Your instructions go to Antenna & Tv and then you press the left and you open up this grid here U made my me so happy 😀

Also can provide some solutions for Roku Remotes Controls that stop working with new batteries. Will not pair so I can set up my device and connect internet to Sony smart TV.
