Using components from electronics store, can you connect cable to a Roku Ultra?

I have three Roku ultras, one ONN ROKU TV and one TCL Roku TV.
I have one of my Roku’s and a cable connected to the ONN TV And a digital antenna connected to my TCL Roku TV. I like the flexibility

What I haven’t quite figured out is how to connect an antenna or cable using third-party components  to a Roku Ultra.  
The cable I have in mind is Att Uverse which has 50 channels built into it And doesn’t need a local cable box.  
any suggestions on what gadgets I need to take the cable signal and make it Roku ultra friendly?

Thanks,

Franklin J

Re: Using components from electronics store, can you connect cable to a Roku Ultra?

Sorry, it's just not possible.  Your TV has a tuner, but no Roku players do.  There are ways to watch your local or cable channels on a Roku player using an app or something like a Tablo TV device that has an antenna connection and a companion app, but it wouldn't give you exactly the same experience a Roku TV provides.
