    Hi Storekeeper,

    Thanks for keeping the Community posted!

    Thank you for letting us know. It's important to note that Roku devices such as Roku Streambar, Roku Express, Roku Ultra, and Roku Streaming Stick do not support local antenna channels, unlike Roku TV models. If I understand correctly, you're attempting to access local channels via cable or antenna. However, it's worth noting that the only live TV available on these devices is The Roku Channel Live TV.

    For additional information, you can visit our page here: Watch Live TV on Roku Devices.

    Thanks,

        jeffkeating10, you can get them if you want to pay for a service that provides them via the Internet, but no Roku device except the TVs has a tuner, so there's no way they're going to get local channels.  You won't find any other streaming device that gets local channels either.
