Setting up Antenna TV
In addition to the other entertainment possibilities of your TCL • Roku TV, you may
also want to watch broadcast channels from an antenna or cable TV service
connected to the ANT input. On your TCL • Roku TV, you watch broadcast TV in
much the same way you watch other entertainment choices. You select a tile—in this
case, the
Antenna TV
tile—from the Home screen.
The first time you select the
Antenna TV
tile, you have to set up the TV tuner. Setting
up the TV tuner scans for active channels and adds them to your Antenna TV channel
list.
Why do I have to set up the TV tuner?
Not everyone needs to use the TV tuner. For example, you might have a set top box provided
by a cable or satellite company that receives all of your channels. Most of these set top boxes
use an HDMI
®
connection.
More and more people are watching only streaming TV and do not have a TV antenna or
cable/satellite service. If you don’t need the TV tuner, you can bypass setting it up and instead
remove it from the Home screen as explained in
Remove unwanted tiles
.
When you set up Antenna TV, the TV scans the signals on its antenna input for channels with a
good signal, and adds those to the channel list, skipping dead channels and channels with a
very weak signal.
The TV lets you add two analog channels, even if they have no signal, for the purpose of using
an older set top box, VCR, or game console that can only output a signal on analog channel 3
or 4. Typically, you’ll only need one of these channels, but both are provided to make setup
simpler. You can hide the one you don’t want as explained in
