I have my own satellite antenna. I purchase 4 Roku Express, one for each location.
My problem is my inability to select the conventional TV channels. The list provided is "foreign" to me! if I type "CNN" it shows me 2 icons, none related with live CNN tv.
I did follow the instruction on Roku, I repeat, the problem is with not seeing the conventional TV channels.
Where am I going wrong?
Thank you.
There is a CNN app in the Roku channel store:

It does say “CABLE OR SATELLITE SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED” but since you mention a satellite antenna, you should be OK on that requirement. (I assume you mean Dish Network or DirecTV and have a subscription that includes CNN.)
A Roku Express is a streaming device, so it doesn’t really have true “conventional TV channels”, in the sense of TV coming from an antenna. But I guess it all depends on your definition of “conventional”.
How do you access these channels WITHOUT the Roku?
You must have some other device that receives the satellite signals and decodes them and sends them on to your TV. Use the controls for that device while viewing the TV input to which that device is connected.
