Can it play like tv instead of VOD? videoplayer code?

Hi, I am a newbie to the forum. Downloaded the sdk but with only a little html knowledge, have been doing much reading. I may resort to having a person build the channel. But, I bave a few questions.

Is it possible for a channel to play like regular tv ie: viewer chooses the channel app and when it opens it plays with the content and not VOD clips that must be clicked on? If so, does Roku place their own ads on any part of the channels built?

Also, perhaps I have overlooked it but there is coding for a videoplayer already available that can be customized. Which part of the sdk is it located?

Thank you.
