How do I set up the TV tuner?
1.
Make sure your antenna (not provided) or TV cable is connected to the TV’s
ANT/CABLE input.
2. On the Home screen, select the Antenna TV tile.
3. Read the simple on-screen instructions, and then select Start finding channels.
4. If prompted, select your time zone. You’ll only need to do this if the TV can’t
figure out your time zone from your Internet connection.

Why does the TV need my time zone?
The TV needs to know your time zone so that it can correctly display time information
about the program you are currently watching.
5. When prompted, select whether to add analog channels 3 and 4. These
channels enable you to connect older set top boxes, VCRs, or game consoles.
6. Wait while your TV scans for Antenna TV stations…
43
… and then cable TV channels.
Scanning for channels can take several minutes.
Tip: If you use a set-top box to receive cable TV channels (and don’t have your
cable connected directly to the TV’s ANT input), you can save time by skipping
the cable TV portion of the channel scan.
7. When the channel scans finish, the TV shows the number of channels it added.
8. Only in connected mode, you have the option of setting up Live TV Pause. The
topic Pausing Live TV explains how to set up and use this feature. If you don’t
44
want to set up Live TV Pause, or if this option is not available to you, select
Done to start watching Live TV.
Tip: Repeat the channel scan from time to time to make sure you are receiving all
of the latest channels. Broadcasters add and remove channels, move channels to
different parts of the spectrum, and change the power levels of their channels
periodically. Your antenna reception and picture quality depend on the position of
your antenna and on your location relative to the antennas of broadcasters in your
area.
Note: You’ll have to repeat the channel scan if you remove and re-add the Antenna
TV tile from the Home screen or perform a factory reset. To repeat the channel
scan, go to Settings > TV inputs > Antenna TV > Scan again for channels > Start finding
channels.
Now, you’re ready to watch Antenna TV! While you’re watching, try the following tips:
•
Press the UP and DOWN arrows to change channels.
•
Press the LEFT arrow to display the channel list (non-connected mode) or
Smart Guide (connected mode), and then use the UP and DOWN arrows to
select a channel to watch. Or press REWIND or FAST FORWARD to jump
through the channel list or Smart Guide a page at a time.
•
Press OK to display information about the current program.
•
Press Þ to see options for picture and sound settings.
•
Only on models that have a Roku voice remote, hold down
or
, and then
say the name of a movie, TV show, actor, or director. The TV displays the result
and the streaming channels that offer the requested content. Only in the
United States, the results also include shows on Antenna TV channels.

search. For more information, see Getting and using the Roku mobile app.
