In the TV's settings menu, there will be a place to scan for local TV channels. You need to let it scan to find your local stations. It will scan analog and digital automatically. This is assuming you have an actual antenna connected to the TV, not just the cable box. If you have the cable box connected to the RF (antenna) port, then all you can get is whatever the cable box is sending out of the coax, which is likely going to look terrible without using an HDMI or at least the analog composite outputs I previously mentioned.
No settings menu item to scan channels. No antenna attached to TV, as I used to watch with a tiny cable box, which was somehow dropped from my account and I don't want it anymore due to cost.
Glad I have the Roku...it has lots of channels available, so I will leave it at that.
Thanks again...Happy Holidays!
cranneberry, search the "Streaming Store" on your Roku for Xfinity and you should be able to add their streaming app.
