Setting Up Antenna Tv - TCL 5 Series User Manual

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 will 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 your channels. Most of these set top boxes use
®
an HDMI connection.
More and more people are only watching 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
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. These would be needed
when 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
channel lineup.
