Hi, CarolineWM
Welcome to the Roku Community.
We see that you need assistance setting up your Antenna on your Roku TV, and we'd be glad to help. A Roku TV is equipped with an ATSC tuner that provides access to digital “over-the-air” broadcast television. These channels can be accessed via an HDTV antenna connected to the Antenna TV input on your Roku TV.
Connecting to an HDTV antenna
Depending on where you live, you may be able to receive free “over-the-air” TV broadcasts from nearby TV stations using an HDTV antenna.
To access “over-the-air” broadcast television, the HDTV antenna must be connected to the Antenna TV input of your Roku TV.
- Connect the coaxial cable from your HDTV antenna to the “Ant/Cable In” connector on the back of your Roku TV.
- Turn on your Roku TV, go to Home and select Antenna TV. If Antenna TV is missing, you can add it by going to Settings > TV inputs > Antenna TV > Set up input.
- Follow the instructions on the TV screen to complete the setup.
-
Note: The placement of the HDTV antenna can affect which TV stations you may be able to receive and the quality of the TV signal. It is normal for the initial channel scan to take a while.
For more information, you can visit this support article on How to set up the Antenna TV input on your Roku TV™
We hope you find this information useful, and let us know if you have further concerns on inquiries.
Best wishes,
KashFactory reset worked for me. Now that I get antenna/air channels I may reconnect the internet later. Thanks CMike
Have my laptop on HDMI to stream everything else pre -Roku just like I used to before I got this TV.
A lot of time wasted today

Thank you for reaching out to us. We understand your confusion with your channels when Live TV channels aren't showing your antenna channels as expected. We're pleased to assist.
With the Live TV Channel Guide, your TV listings are combined into a single channel grid. This is a helpful part of watching TV on your Roku TV system by letting you quickly find your favorite free, live TV. You can access the Live TV Channel Guide directly from The Roku Channel or from the convenient Live TV app on your TV's home screen.
If you want to hide streaming TV channels and only see information for "over-the-air" channels, you can go to Settings > TV inputs > Live TV > Hide streaming TV channels and select Hide all. If you want to hide the Live TV app from the home screen, highlight it, press Star on your Roku remote, and then select Remove input.
