I have Roku Premiere Device. I have an antenna connected to the tv and the tv has digital channels. I have tried everything I can see seem to the local channels. Is the Roku Premiere Device able to get local channels. With the two tv that I have since they have Roku Tv built in I can get the local channels. At this stage anything would help. I would hate to return because of this issue.
Televisions, whether Roku or not, have antenna inputs and broadcast tuners that allow them to receive and display local television broadcast stations. In order to do so the set's Input, Source, or similarly named control, must be set to show the antenna input.
Streaming devices from Roku or others, on the other hand, have neither antenna inputs nor TV tuners. They cannot display local broadcast channels, they can only display streamed content received over the internet. But even so, TVs to which they are connected can still display local channels received over an antenna, provided the TV is set to display those channels instead of the input to which the streaming device is connected.
