Hi, @Crymer 

Greetings, and welcome to the Roku Community.

We appreciate you for reaching out for support, and we acknowledge your inquiry about setting up cable for your Roku TV. We'd be more than glad to assist. To see your cable channels, please be guided on the steps below:

Note: If you want to watch cable on your Roku TV system and you already subscribe to cable TV, you may be able to receive some digital and analog TV stations, such as local TV stations, without using a set-top box to decode them. If so, you’ll need to connect the cable TV source (typically located in the wall of your home) directly to the “Ant/Cable In” connector on the back of your TV.

Many cable TV systems scramble their TV signals and require a set-top box to view the signals on a TV. Consult with your cable company to find out if they have “in the clear” signals on your cable that will work on a standard TV RF input.

  1. Connect the coaxial cable from your HDTV antenna to the “Ant/Cable In” connector on the back of your TV
  2. Press Home on your Roku remote
  3. Select Live TV
  4. Follow the instructions on the TV screen to complete the setup
  5. If Live TV is missing, you can add it by going to Settings > TV inputs > Live TV > Set up input.

For more information on watching cable on your Roku TV, please refer to this official Roku support article on How to set up and watch live TV on your Roku TV system

We hope you find this information useful, and please let us know if you have further concerns or inquiries.

Best wishes,
Kash
