Roku streaming devices do not contain TV tuners.
The only way to get local channels free is to connect an over-the-air antenna to the antenna inputs on your TV and view the channels you can receive using the TV's tuner.
Alternatively, you can subscribe to a streaming service that takes the place of a cable/satellite service that delivers your local stations. Ones I know of are:
- YouTube TV
- Directv Stream
- Hulu + Live TV
- fubo
- ... there may be others
Check with each of them to see which of your local stations they may have available. Typically you get the main network channel only, and none of the sub-channels that may be able to get with an over-the-air antenna.
