Re: How to resolve the issue of Roku TV not displaying antenna channels in live TV?

Hi, @Abd56ullah

Thanks for posting, and welcome to the Roku Community.

We came across your post regarding your Roku TV, where you mentioned that you are inquiring about guidance to display the antenna channels in Live TV. 

Depending on where you live, you may be able to receive free “over-the-air” TV broadcasts from nearby TV stations using an HDTV antenna. This is an easy way to watch TV on your Roku TV system if you know how to connect. You can refer to Antenna Web for more information on accessing “over-the-air” TV in your area, and finding and using an HDTV antenna.

To access “over-the-air” broadcast television, the HDTV antenna must be connected to the Live TV input of your TV.

  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 setup
  • Note: If Live TV is missing, you can add it by going to Settings > TV inputs > Live TV > Set up input.

Once all of these steps are followed, you can setup to only see the over the air channels on the Live TV. Follow the steps below:

  1. Press Home on your Roku TV remote
  2. Scroll and select Settings
  3. Select TV inputs
  4. Select Live TV
  5. Select Hide streaming TV channels
  6. Check the box next to Hide all

When you want to see information for streaming TV channels in the Live TV Channel Guide again, repeat the steps and uncheck the box.

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

Best wishes,
Kash

I'm having a similar issue. I added the Roku soundbar. Now I cannot access the local channels. And I'm not getting the "TV Inputs" selection to do so. That's all I need. Where did it go?

@Robin8, I answered you in another thread, but basically use your TV's remote (not the Streambar's remote) to access TV Inputs.
