Roku says streaming listings in the guide require an internet connection and are supported only in the United States. A Roku TV antenna is a separate way to add local over-the-air stations to the guide; the cited report does not say an antenna is needed for these internet-streamed channels.
Do you need to pay or buy a Roku device?
The reported streams are ad-supported, and Cord Cutters News says no additional subscription is required. Roku says The Roku Channel offers 500+ live TV channels; that is the service’s overall count, not the number of new channels in this report, and it may change over time.
