You can leave the input from the Roku hooked up, hook the antenna to the round connector that says antenna or cable on the tv then select cable or antenna as the input on the TV and select auto scan and let it scan for live chanels and store them...you can switch back and forth between the HDMI input for the Roku and the cable/antenna using the input button on the TV, you won't need to unhook or re hook anything to go from one source to the other.
You do not need a smart tv in order to use the roku. Basically the roku device makes your TV Smart. The basic connection is just an hdmi cable, and some type of internet connection. Depending on the Roku you have, you can either go with the built in wireless, or you can hard wire the internet. The same type of cable that you would use to hook up a computer to your router.
On the back of the TV/VCR unit there is an input for audio & video plugs. These will accept a composite video signal and mono audio signal. I'm not sure if newer roku has these outputs as they are low def only signals. The roku would need to have have red, white & yellow sockets. (Old Roku's had these....) Yellow is video, red and white are L & R audio. Use a y adapter to merge red & white together, and use a standard RCA patch cord to connect the roku composite outputs to the TV VCR inputs.
1) Does your service provider (TV company) have HD service to your house and do you subscribe to that option?
2) How is your box hooked to your TV? HDMI or at least Component cables are required to achive HD modes.
3) Does the Roku box have setting that determine the output resolution?
