    I had a Roku player since 2010 and updated it in 2014 and now have a Roku TV and one in another room. I love it. Everything where you need it and no cable. Just antenna TV and then the streaming channels. You control what you watch. It's great.

      Question, I'm new to Roku and just bought an outside antenna; but, it appears that the antenna channels that I receive are mixed in with the Roku Live TV. Is this correct? Also, with Roku I can receive CBS, NBC, & ABC - so why do I need an antenna?

    Your instructions go to Antenna & Tv and then you press the left and you open up this grid here

    I've had ROKU TV now for four years almost - it's a pleasure to have cut the cable - remember - cable USED to promise NO commercials (because you were paying for the content) but that quickly changed once the deluge of greed stepped in. So good riddance to bad rubbish!

    Can you do a show on the Roku Remote Control Pairing problem? How can you set your Roku streaming sticks 3800r and 3600 after you have a new internet provider ? Also can provide some solutions for Roku Remotes Controls that stop working with new batteries. Will not pair so I can set up my device and connect internet to Sony smart TV.

It looks like the signal strength is low (it also displays) on that channel. Is this why, or is it something else? I have an Element brand tv.
