41Setting up Antenna TVIn addition to the other entertainment possibilities of your TCL Roku TV, you may alsowant to watch broadcast channels from an antenna or cable TV service connected tothe ANT input. On your TCL Roku TV, you watch broadcast TV in much the same wayyou watch other entertainment choices. You select a tile—in this case, the Antenna TVtile—from the Home screen.The first time you select the Antenna TV tile, you have to set up the TV tuner. Settingup the TV tuner scans for active channels and adds them to your Antenna TV channellist.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 providedby a cable or satellite company that receives all of your channels. Most of these set top boxesuse an HDMI ® connection.More and more people are watching only streaming TV and do not have a TV antenna orcable/satellite service. If you don’t need the TV tuner, you can bypass setting it up and insteadremove 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 agood signal, and adds those to the channel list, skipping dead channels and channels with avery weak signal.The TV lets you add two analog channels, even if they have no signal, for the purpose of usingan older set top box, VCR, or game console that can only output a signal on analog channel 3or 4. Typically, you’ll only need one of these channels, but both are provided to make setupsimpler. You can hide the one you don’t want as explained in Edit Antenna TV channel lineup.
