After I scanned for and found my local antenna channels, I made them all my favorite by checking boxes. When I go to live TV guide, I go to favorite, there they are. If there is another or better way, please let me know. Eric

My other TV had a choice of antenna and inputs. This one doe doesn’t. What do you do? I have been working on this for days.

Hi, @Beachy74.

Greetings from the Roku Community!

We appreciate you reaching out for support and we'd be happy to share further information about this.

Firstly, are you referring to a Roku TV as well? If not, please be informed that Roku streaming devices plugged into a non-Roku TV don't support OTA Live TV channels. You may instead use your TV's physical remote to change inputs.

However, if you are referring to a Roku TV as well, and if Live TV is missing, you can add it by going to Settings > TV inputs > Live TV > Set up input. If you've already set up your Live TV input, the option you'll see is rescan. 

To help you access your OTA Live TV channels, kindly find the Live TV Guide icon instead of the Live TV on The Roku Channel to see if this makes any difference.

Keep us posted!

Best regards,
Carly

After you add it, it will fall under your list of apps. Just choose "Antenna TV" on your apps, like you would choose Netflix or any of the others, and you have your local TV selection and guide.

Unfortunately my new Roku TV doesn't have that choice.(Antenna) I can't find it

Live TV , at least on my brand new Roku, only scans channels, but doesn't que you where to put them, or what to do with them. So you'd have to scan every time you wanna watch local channels. But it does allow you to favorite them easily. That's all I noticed. I am however easily confused 🤔 with all this new tech.
