Big thanks to primestar31 for the information on ATSC 3.0 compatible devices. This new Roku solves my dilemma with a program guide for the "dumb" TV.

Did you figure out if Roku can do the Linear guide for the HDHR, like all the other devices? I have a Roku tv, HDHR 4k Flex and such, BUT, I don't use the HDHR app to watch it on the Roku.

Not yet. I plan to play around with it more tonight.

On the Firestick, you PAUSE whatever video is playing on the channel you are on, that brings up the Timeline bar. Then, just arrow over to the right side, and there's an icon left of the "SAP" icon that looks like some boxes. Click on that, and it brings up the linear guide.

Doesn't seem to be there with the Roku HDHR app, but there might be another way I don't know about.

Ok, they are distracted with the DRM work, so didn't complete the newest Roku app updates, such as a grid guide:

I like that the Ultra has an ethernet port. The "dumb" TV is close to my router, so I can connect the Ultra directly.

That's ok with me; they really need to get this DRM lockout thing resolved ASAP

He's got a network OTA tuner, and the Roku has an app to tune it in.

I missed that post about the HDHR 4k.
