Adding local broadcast channels on Roku Ultra

Is it possible to add local broadcast channels on Roku Ultra, other than just local news stations?

    FranklinJ  Short answer,no. There is nothing inside the ROKU to decode cable TV signals, by that I mean no tuner. Nor will it "pass through" any cable TV signal. The USB port is for data only. Like music and photos and compatible video files.

I don’t want to use the TV remote to switch between cable and Roku Ultra on the HDMI. 
Will a coax to USB converter connected to the USB port on the ROKU Ultra do it?

the TV has multiple HDMI ports.

will a Coax to HDMI converter connected directly to the TV register with the ROKU so I can switch on the ROKU Ultra menu?
