Live TV/Roku Channel app with Antenna through HDHomerun?

I have an older Roku Smart TV. I have an antenna hooked up to the TV so my local broadcast channels are mixed in with the other Roku streaming offerings in the Live TV/Roku Channel app. I prefer this because they're all in one spot.

My Roku Smart TV is painfully slow. I'm looking to get a Roku Ultra 2024 and use that as my main device instead of the built in TV apps. However, I know you can't plug an antenna into the Roku Ultra and I don't want to switch between sources for local channels only.

If I buy an HDHomerun device and connect my antenna to that, I know I can view local channels in the HDHomerun app on Roku. My question is if the HDHomerun device is getting my local channels on the Roku, will the Live TV/ Roku Channel app be able to see them as welll and incorporate them the same way my current TV does, or will the local channels only be viewable in the HDHomerun app and not in the Live TV/Roku Channel app?

Thanks.

Re: Live TV/Roku Channel app with Antenna through HDHomerun?

You will only be able to watch your local channels via the HDHomerun app.  There's no way to integrate anything into the Live TV part of The Roku Channel.
