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

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
