What is so special about Roku Streaming Sticks (at least the one which came with your TV) that they cannot be used with TVs other than the set they were bundled with? I would think these sticks could be used with any TV that had at least one HDMI port. You mentioned your TV is a "Roku Ready" set. What does that mean?
BTW: I guess your only option at this point may be to get a Roku device which connects to an HDMI port on the set, unless there is an "antenna" option on your set's input menu; this will let you use a standard TV antenna. I use a Roku 2 device on my Insignia 32" TV; it works very well on cable (Spectrum streaming service).
You may be more or less forced to use a Roku device if you are in an area with poor or no reception of local TV stations. Since you are in an area of Indiana which should get Chicago TV with no problems, I would think an antenna, even rabbit ears, would get most of the area's local channels.
