OTA TV and Roku players: using my TV as I did before Roku?

Jump to solution

I've searched for an hour, and so decided to ask here.
The TV used for this is a late model NON-Smart Samsung (with HDMI ports).
This TV gets OTA (over-the-air) TV channels via antenna.
I'm looking at a Roku Express or Roku Express 4K+ player.
Let's say I plug the Roku player in and set it up.
Here's my question:
I turn on the TV. Can I then bi-pass the Roku screen (basically ignore Roku), and access my regular OTA TV screen, and use the TV as I did before I set up Roku?

Yes, the Roku is just another device connected to your TV like a Blue Ray player, cable box, etc.  You only see a particular device when you switch the TV to the corresponding input.
