The Roku TV™ much like most modern TVs, has a built-in ATSC TV tuner that provides access to digital “over-the-air” broadcast television. These local channels can be accessed via a VHF/UHF TV antenna connected to the Live TV input (coaxial) on your Roku TV. These local over-the-air channels are free to watch. If you live in a city, you should have at least CBS, NBC and ABC and you may also have PBS and FOX plus many more smaller local channels. Go to www.antennaweb.org and enter your location (zip code) to view all the TV stations in your area. You will need an antenna, either outdoor or indoor. If the TV broadcast towers are close enough to you, say within 15 to 20 miles or less, you may only need an indoor antenna. If the TV tower is more than this distance from you, then the larger outdoor antenna may be required.  Connect the coaxial cable from your TV antenna to the “Ant/Cable In” connector on the back of your TV.      How to install coaxial cable Align the copper pin in the center of the coaxial cable with the hole in the antenna port and insert. Next screw the cable housing clockwise onto the port until it is tightend all the way for a secure connection.   To access free “over-the-air” broadcast television, the VHF/UHF TV antenna must be connected to the Live TV input of your TV (threaded round silver connection). Next, grab the ROKU TV remote control and press the POWER button to turn the TV on. Next press the HOME button.  Go to "HOME" on ROKU TV. Use ROKU TV remote control. Look for the "LIVE TV" tile. (Some TVs such as TCL also use the ROKU operating system but call this ANTENNA instead of LIVE TV)  If the "Live TV" tile is missing, you can add it by going to Settings > TV inputs > Live TV > Set up input.  Scroll DOWN to "Settings" then go to "TV inputs"  Go to LIVE TV  Go to "Set up input"   Select "Antenna"  Next the ROKU TV will scan for available channels  When completed, the TV will save the channels in memory  Now you can view your local free TV channels  At a later time, if you decide to scan for more channels or manage the channels, go to HOME > Settings > TV inputs > LIVE TV > SCAN for Channels  Channel Scan Now, you’re ready to watch live TV! While you’re watching, try the following tips: • Press UP or DOWN arrow buttons on remote to change channels. • Press LEFT to display the Live TV Channel Guide, and then press UP or DOWN to select a channel to watch. Or press REWIND or FAST FWD to jump through the Live TV Channel Guide a page at a time. • Press OK to display information about the current program. • Press STAR * to see options for picture and sound settings. Change Live TV Channel Guide to only show "over-the-air" TV listings Live TV Channel Guide shows you information about programs from over 165 live streaming TV channels on The Roku Channel, and when you set up a TV antenna on your Roku TV it also shows you information for "over-the-air" movies and TV shows broadcasting in your area. If you wish to only see TV listings for "over-the-air" channels, you can hide all the streaming TV channels from Live TV Channel Guide using the steps below. Press Home button on your Roku TV remote Scroll and select Settings Select TV inputs Select Live TV Select Hide streaming TV channels Check the box next to Hide all When you want to see information for streaming TV channels in Live TV Channel Guide again, repeat the steps and uncheck the box. If you do not have a TV antenna connected to your Roku TV, you can hide the Live TV input from the channel grid by highlighting it, pressing Star * button on your Roku TV remote, and then selecting Remove input. • NextGen TV: ATSC 3.0 Free TV for 2020 and beyond • See over 100 hookup diagrams • VCR BASICS - How to record digital TV on VCR • Streaming TV and devices • Clean VCR heads How to connect VCR to Computer Columbia ISA Audio/Video Empowering consumers through information Contact: columbiaisa@yahoo.com • TV of the Past |
