Can Stremium Basic DVR Service record from the Roku TV OTA tuner?

I am considering the Stremium Basic service to aggregate my DVR recording from different streaming services (Sling, Frndly, etc) in one place in the cloud.  If I attach an antenna to the Roku TV and use the built-in OTA tuner, can I also record these channels to Stremium?  Since the Roku help says the TV will support the OTA channels in its channel guide, I am hopeful this can work.  Or will I have to buy a Tablo device to record these OTA channels, and have Stremium pick up the recordings from the Tablo?
Any help is appreciated.

Re: Can Stremium Basic DVR Service record from the Roku TV OTA tuner?

The only thing that can record from the antenna is a flash drive plugged into the USB port and that's just for pausing and rewinding live TV.  It's hardly a DVR.  You'd need something like a Tablo to record OTA channels.  I wasn't aware there was anything that can pick up the Tablo recordings and I can't find any mention of Stremium and Tablo, but Tablo has an app for Roku devices.
