You can't access antenna from within a Roku device, unless it's a Roku TV, in which case what you were trying to do would work.

I didn't think Insignia made Roku TVs, so if it's not a Roku TV, then to watch the antenna, use your TV's remote to switch the input from the HDMI port to which Roku is connected to the antenna input.

Note: this is assuming you're not using Air TV, Tablo, or something similar, which would allow you to watch antenna TV from Roku. They're a couple of hundred dollars to set up.

Re: Can't exit Roku and go back to antenna tv

@Rnew2000 

Are you selecting the purple Live TV icon? (That will take you to the Roku Channel Live TV).  If you are selecting the Live TV feature from the Home Screen (one on left hand side under Home and Featured Free), then that will also take you back to the Roku Channel Live TV.

I don't know why OS 11 renamed the Antenna Input to Live TV also, so this may be your issue also.  I have an Insignia RokuTV and they not only renamed the Input, but changed the Tile from a distinguishable Antenna Icon to some Guide looking icon.  (sometimes cannot leave well enough alone.)

If you are missing the Antenna/Live TV OTA icon Input, then try Settings/TV Inputs/Live TV.

If you are merely seeing a bunch of Roku Channel Streaming Channels comingling with your OTA channels, try Settings/TV Inputs/Live TV/Manage Channels/Hide Streaming Channels (select to hide).
