Can Stremium Basic DVR Service record from the Roku TV OTA tuner?

I am considering the Stremium Basic service to aggregate my DVR recording from different streaming services (Sling, Frndly, etc) in one place in the cloud.  If I attach an antenna to the Roku TV and use the built-in OTA tuner, can I also record these channels to Stremium?  Since the Roku help says the TV will support the OTA channels in its channel guide, I am hopeful this can work.  Or will I have to buy a Tablo device to record these OTA channels, and have Stremium pick up the recordings from the Tablo?
Any help is appreciated.

    The only thing that can record from the antenna is a flash drive plugged into the USB port and that's just for pausing and rewinding live TV.  It's hardly a DVR.  You'd need something like a Tablo to record OTA channels.  I wasn't aware there was anything that can pick up the Tablo recordings and I can't find any mention of Stremium and Tablo, but Tablo has an app for Roku devices.
