Setting up live TV
In addition to the other entertainment possibilities of your Roku TV, you might want
to watch broadcast channels from an antenna or cable TV service connected to the
ANT input. On your Roku TV, you can watch broadcast TV in much the same way you
watch other entertainment choices: select the Live TV tile from the Home screen.
The first time you select the Live TV tile, you have to set up the TV tuner. Setting up the
TV tuner scans for active channels and adds them to your Live 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 live 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
Edit channel
lineup.
