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
