Ruku is a streaming service. I don't believe any of our OTA stations run live on the Internet.

If your Samsung has roku built in, you should only have 1 remote. If it's a stand alone roku box, then you use Hulu TV ( I don't know how Direct TV streaming works) or you must flip the tv over to the antenna input and watch that way.

2,4, and 7 stream only news content on Roku. You’re correct about over the air, no actual broadcast content.

I have a ROKU/Phillips that does it all....Stream and over the air app/live tv with antenna...
The Samsung has a ROKU device I have added..it shows stream and over the air live app...but the over the air live app only shows streaming and not locals with antenna hooked up.... I have to use Samsung remote to get the locals...wanting to see if the ROKU could do that and use just oe remote...maybe not possible? may need two remotes????
