Setting up Antenna TV
In addition to the other entertainment possibilities of your Roku TV, you may also want to
watch broadcast channels. On your 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 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?
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 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, 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
