Hey! Le37
Sorry you’ve had to jump through hoops. Roku Streambar SE is purely an audio add-on and doesn’t include a built-in tuner. That means it can’t pull in over-the-air local channels on its own.
Roku Streambar SE isn’t a replacement for your TV’s tuner; you still need that antenna (or a live-TV streaming service) to get locals. Think of the Streambar as an amp for your TV’s audio rather than an all-in-one box.
That way, you’ll get both your OTA channels and the boosted Streambar SE sound your parent wants, without chasing another gadget.
Hope that clears things up!
