But how do you connect the antenna to the Roku???

We just moved to Central Texas from Houston (where we had all kinds of OTA stations) and we are just dipping our toes into cord cutting. Your channel is so informative, I learn something new every day. Thank you, thank you!

Thank you I needed that yesterday

Not once did you describe how to watch tv from the over the air antenna

Can you do another video where you actually explain how to access your antenna? Thanks

HD Homerun with Nvidia shield and the live channels app. You have a DVR built into the app and if you add a reasonable external storage you have all you need.

Just set up my Roku express! I love it! Haven't cut cord yet tho , waiting closer to end date, since they do not give refunds. Plan to buy another for my other tv. THANK YOU for your awesome info!

Thank you for making this video. I want local stations. You are so informative and I am grateful for your cord cutters information and insights.

i have an hdtv that i hooked up a roku express 4 k which is working great but i now have an hdtv indoor antenna and i need to know how to hook it up to the tv with the roku express? This indoor antenna also has a power boost. Im just not sure where to hook what up to

So how do you hook the antenna to the Roku?

What kind of roku do you need to buy to hook up the digital antenna?

So Which one of these would you recommend as the best option?

I am looking for a solution that consolidates streaming and OTA channels in one TV guide. We previously had Sling. It was easy to use the AirTV unit for both. Now, we have Philo and I have not found a means to consolidate channels on our AirTV. We get the OTA channels, but the Philo streaming channels are only available through our Roku main panel. Do you have any recommendations?

Wonderful content! Helped me a lot!

I have an antenna only. Do you need internet do get any of these? Can you stream from your smartphone

How did you setup the sling app on your TV? cause I was using the antenna tv shortcut then I added sling and tried to launch it and the first thing was the free trial or sign in screen

Can you make a video on showing how the hard wiring is set up coax from antenna to roku ? I’m not clear how this works considering there’s no input for it? Thanks rich

Goodness ! I'm glad I found you two years later. Still help me 😊 Thank you 😊

Hello, I'm a new subscriber, and appreciate your informative video. Could you please help me with a Roku Ultra question? I've recently run into some audio distortion. I've had mixed success simply unplugging it, waiting and plugging it back in. Prior to buying a new HDMI cable, do you have any suggestions? For what it's worth, the device I'm referring to is 3 years old, and doesn't owe us a dime. If we were to decide to buy a new one, is there a model with a remote which has a good track record for not occasionally delivering crackling audio? Thanks for your help, Delfino

Thank you 😊😊🌟✨

I have a Samsung TV - what do I need to buy to get my TV to have the Roku features? And will I be able to add apps from Roku such as Locast so we can watch local channels? Thank you!

I have an air tv with sling TV with the antenna connected, I also have 2 Roku express's all in one house, how do I get my Roku express devices to pick up the antenna channels from the air tv? Every device is on the same sling TV subscription

right now i have Orby TV , can i keep that and continue watching our favorite channels and be able to switch back and forth to Roku ? i have not bought Roku yet and want to be sure that i can do this before buying it

Question " can I still use the air TV kit that sling gave me when I first signed up to watch my locals" I canceled my sling prescription?

This was not about OTA, it's about subscribing to Sling or a platform that has the locals on it.

I have 2 Roko Stick+ and one has the antenna Input (along with the HDMI inputs) that look like apps and the other does not. Is there a way to change this?

Hey. I sorta showed this type of tutorial in my Mohu antenna review. 😁 Good tips and tricks.

So, how do you ever sling to use your antenna? And how can it work on a tv that the antenna isn't hooked up to?

I tried watching the Denver Atlanta game on my Roku TV but Charter Spectrum's cable was dark and their app had serious issues too so, I switched to my antenna and there was the game in glorious HD. I like how Pluto snags my antenna channels then drops them into their schedule too.

Can I hook up my hd antenna to my Roku box? Or do I need to switch manually if I want to watch local channels?

Did not at all explain “ Air TV “ where it’s from, how it works/hooks up somehow through the Roku (Ultra) box. Very frustrating.

Also I notice you have several Central Texas apps. I live in Lampasas and was wondering where you are located. Give me a shout sometime soon as my wife and I are debating cord cutting.

Working on getting outside Antenna! Good info Luke!

Take note. If you have a usb thumb drive inserted into the USB port, to pause live TV, removing it may solve a “no signal” issue.

Can I add the Antenna TV App to my older 2019 Roku model?

So do you have to buy the TABLO box so that it works with your ROKU?

Hello, this is THE best video on how to use an antenna with Roku. As if now, I am a brand new subscriber. I have a question. Can I use the antennas mentioned if I do not have a Roku TV? I really hope I can! I am using Roku on my Spectre television. I lost my Romu remote and box, so I've hooked up my Roku using this little, Roku gadget with two holes for the different cords to my Spectre tv. I downloaded a free Roku remote app to my Ipad. I hope you will reply to my comment, and I hope the news us good! Thank you so much! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

So, I just purchased the ROKU ULTRA. It does NOT have a Cable Connector on the back of box! Can I purchase an adapter (which one will work) for my ROKU ULTRA to Connect to my Current HD Antenna? Appreciate your reply. Thanks, Jeff

Pretty valid point....roku with an OTA adapter would be a natural fit.

So I need a a taboo box or a slug sub to watch my antenna through my ROKU.? I didn’t see any choices or settings to just connect to my ROKU. My antenna isn’t connected to my ROKU. I’m writing this at 1am so I’ll double check in morning.

Just tell me HOW to hook the antenna to this roku remote.....PLEASE

Do you plan on doing a video Re: any of the " more generic" DVR TUNER BOXES?

Key word he is mentioning, STREAMING through these devices. Once you cut the cord on cable or Directv, etc, your gonna need WIFI to stream the channels. That means your using more data from your WIFI provider in order to view these channels. Local tv channels should be “over the air” (OTA) and should be available on a tv antenna. This way you are not going through WIFI and not using data to view. I found out once I cut the cord from both cable and DTV, that my data usage went sky high because of streaming. I not only streamed tv, but would stream radio through the internet. I found out it was starting to cost as much to stream as it did to have cable. Once you use more data, WIFI providers charge more for data consumption. I have since hooked up a digital tv antenna and get HD local programming for free! I only use RU-vid tv to watch out of market shows like MLB. So consider using an antenna for local shows and WIFI STREAMING for other stuff. Lastly, monitor your WiFi data usage to confirm your monthly data limits.

I have DISH and I was accessing my DISH receiver through the Antenna TV icon. However as of last night the Antenna TV icon has been removed from the home page. Where did it go and how do I get it back?

How about watching the sub channels like for example Channel 4 has channel 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 etc.

What does the Air TV app look like? I have a Roku Express.

I love my tablo

You connect the antenna to the sling or hdhomerun or tablo device, then you will see the ota channels in the respective app...on your roku.

So glad to say goodbye to that $275 Comcast bill with no premium channels. Fiber, Roku and Prime Video are great.

is there a way to connect your ROKU stick through an old VCR to record programming ?

With a RCA antenna, how would I watch l local channels with a Roku box?

Which antenna works with multi tvs.

I just bought roku stream bar pro but i can`t hear any sounds from my tv interface even with earc ? Once i switch to roku i can hear roku content.

How do you get local channels?

As always, your videos are super informative. I'm a seinor citizen and singe of the vernacular today is a bit love my head. I have a new ROKU hdr tv. I have used directv fit 15 years and I want break free. What I'd the best easiest device I can purchase that gives me a DVR, local channels with a similar menu close to directv? The simplest user friendly setup you can recommend? I want to record a season of programs ie master chef with little added hard drives etc. I hope this makes sense

How can I boost antenna signal?

I have a onn tv, stick and a antenna how do I hook it up?

You absolutely failed to address the question you promised to answer in the beginning: how to connect an antenna to an external Roku device. What 3rd party hardware were you talking about?

Hi I’m brand new and challenged lol do u need an antenna to watch local channels on local time I went through the Roku love tv app and played my local channel live but the programming wasn’t the same as what I watch. It was just news news news and then a show that normally comes on at 12 here at 8 am So it didn’t seem like live tv So do u need an antenna ? Literally just want that channel and that’s all to cut my 200 dollar cable bull

Question: Are the channels which are downloaded (?) from my antenna mixed in with the Roku streaming lineup?

how do i watch video on my nas?

I have a Roku ultra, but I connect my antenna directly to the TV! I still can't get Fox TV channel! It's a HIGH VHF frequency and my directional antenna does seem to cover that frequency.

You mentioned that METVwas available on the ROKU, but I cannot get it on mine and I set up an antenna

Hi There, lm just asking,am l going to use a VPN to use it,l do live in Australia

This assumes you have a “Roku tv” but what if you have a regular Roku that’s NOT built into the tv? I have a Roku express + for instance. How do I use a a DVR app and antenna the?

Help i bought a clear tv antenna..hocked it up my tv is showing the station and the name of the shows but not a picture.....why and what do i do.

IF you have a ROKU TV set (not just a streaming device), AND your antenna is connected to the coaxial input, you can add those channels that you are getting through your antenna to the channel lineup on your ROKU channel list. My son did it just a few minutes ago. It doesn't work if you are using the streaming device though.

I use a tablo TV tuner. Weak tuner, disconnects all the time. You also need the $5 a month service to properly record any programs.

I have to purchase an airtv?

Thanks for all of the info you provide. I’m trying right now to figure out what I need to get rid of cable. Your link to the description of AirTV on Amazon says that it supports 2 simultaneous streams. I am evaluating the FireTV Recast at the moment. It only supports 2 streams as well. For my house, that works about half the time. So my question is,, whether it’s Roku or FireTV with Sling, Hulu, or whatever, how do I get OTA signals to all TVs all the time? It would also be nice to see those OTA channels in your channel guide like in this video. Thanks!

The HDMI PORTS!shown on your screen, part the tv display or from roku. Can you show EVERYONE how to display if it's possible. Thank you

Where can I find the info on hardware available to connect the antenna to the Roku box?

Does anyone know how he got the antenna icon to appear on his Roku? I don't even get that and the live tv is useless - too many channels to pour through - by the time I'd find it - the show would be over.

I have a smart tv with a Roku plugged in . I do not see an icon or tile that shows Antenna. I have an antenna connected. Does this icon only show up on ROKU tvs with the built in Roku? If not, how can I get the icon for the antenna. I always use the input to get to my antenna channels and wonder if there is a shortcut. Thank you.

But how do you hook it up? I have an antenna, Sling, and Roku.

I'm just trying to find out how to change channels on my antenna tv. There's no way to toggle with my Roku remote.

I don't have an antenna icon on my Roku home screen so how do I connect my antenna?

Hi, I have a Roku Smart TV, but the Antenna icon/app is not in the settings. How do I add the antenna button? I have scanned for the antenna channels and it found about 36 stations. However, the stations don't appear on the LIVE TV ROKU app. I don't know how to access them. Someone please help. Thanks.
