How to Scan for Antenna Channels on TCL TV (Best Method)
1Scanning for over-the-air (OTA) antenna channels on a TCL TV is a straightforward process, but the exact steps can vary slightly depending on whether your TV uses Roku TV, Google TV, or Android TV. The "best method" is to follow the TV's guided setup, as it's designed to walk you through the process efficiently.
Here's a general guide that covers the most common TCL TV operating systems:
Step 1: Connect Your Antenna
Before you do anything on the TV, make sure your antenna is properly connected.
Locate the Antenna In or CABLE/ANT port on the back of your TCL TV.
Securely connect your coaxial antenna cable to this port.
Place the antenna in a good location, ideally with a clear line of sight to local broadcast towers. Adjusting the antenna's position can significantly impact the number and quality of channels you receive.
Step 2: Start the Channel Scan
The process for initiating the scan is similar across different TCL platforms.
For TCL Roku TVs:
Press the Home button on your Roku remote.
Navigate to the Live TV tile. If you don't see it, you may need to add it by going to Settings TV inputs Live TV Set up input.
Select Start finding channels or Scan again for channels.
The TV will then begin the scan. This process can take several minutes.
For TCL Google/Android TVs:
Press the Settings button (gear icon) on your remote.
Navigate to Settings Channels & Inputs Channels.
Select Channel scan.
Choose your country and region.
Select Scan Automatically and make sure the Tuner Mode is set to Antenna and the Channel Type is set to Digital or Digital & Analog.
Select Search to start the scan.
Step 3: Wait for the Scan to Complete
During the scan, your TV will display a progress bar and show you how many channels it has found. This is a good time to be patient.
Tip: Do not interrupt the scan. It needs to reach 100% to ensure all available channels are found and saved.
