Adding an antenna to a non Roku tv

I'm trying to add an antenna to a non Roku tv. When I do this the "tv input" option isn't there. I've done this on a Roku tv and it works perfectly.

    carguy1949  , an antenna and a Roku device other than an actual Roku TV have nothing to do with each other.  You use the TV's remote and user interface to watch antenna channels and the Roku's remote and user interface to watch content on Roku apps.  Connecting a Roku device to a TV is pretty much the same thing as connecting something like a Blu-ray player.

    Different TVs have the ANT/CBL channel scan under different categories.  You will normally find the ANT/CBL scan option under Menu > Input or with a yaghi antenna or satellite dish icon.
