Setting up Antenna TV
Despite all of the entertainment possibilities of your TV, you may also want to watch broadcast TV. You watch broadcast
TV in much the same way you watch other entertainment choices. You select a tile—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 broadcast TV channel list.
Why do I have to set up the TV tuner?
You might be asking, “Why is this step necessary?” Good question.
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
on page
When you set up Antenna TV, your 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.
Your TV will, however, let you add two analog channels, even if they have no signal. You might need to add these
channels if you have an older set top box, VCR, or game console that can only output a signal on analog channel 3 or 4.
These are the only channels that can be added regardless of whether they have a good signal. 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

How do I set up the TV tuner?
Setting up the TV tuner is easy—your TV does most of the work. You just have to answer a couple of questions.
1
Make sure your antenna (sold separately) or TV cable is connected to your TV’s
ANT/CABLE
input.
2
On the
Home
screen, select the
Antenna TV
tile.
3
Read the simple on-screen instructions and select
Start finding channels
.
4
If prompted, select your time zone. You'll only need to do this if your TV can’t figure
out your time zone from your Internet connection.
Why does the TV need
my time zone?
The TV needs to know
your time zone so that it
can correctly display time
information about the
program you are currently
watching.
