How Roku’s live guide differs by location
Roku says The Roku Channel offers “500+ live TV channels”; that is the service’s overall channel count, not the number of channels in the September 2026 report. Roku also says an HDTV antenna connected to a Roku TV can add local over-the-air stations to the guide. That is a separate reception option, not a stated requirement for the reported internet-streamed channels. Roku: Live TV on The Roku Channel
