Hey, @Gizmo11.

Thanks for asking that!

Just a heads up—only the Roku TV can connect to an antenna, not the regular Roku devices. That's because Roku TVs have a port for the HDTV antenna cable.

Hope this helps. Let us know if you have more questions!

@Gizmo11 You can not use a Roku device connected to a TV to view over the air channels since the Roku device  has no antenna input connection.  However, you can connect your antenna to the coaxial input on your non Roku TV and just change the TV input to watch over the air channels.  When you want to go back to the Roku just change the input back to the input connected to your Roku device.
