But What If I Didn't Connect My Tv; Setting Up Antenna Tv; Why Do I Have To Set Up The Tv Tuner - Sharp LC-55LB481U User Manual

But what if I didn't connect my TV?

What if you went through Guided Setup and chose Connect to the Internet later? No worries. Your TV makes it easy to
connect whenever you want. As you move around the Home screen, you'll see several places where you can start the
connection process. For example:
• Now and then you'll see a message appear on the panel to the right of the Home screen offering a Connect Now
option. Simply highlight and select the Connect Now option to get started.
• Use the Connect and activate now option in the Settings menu. From the Home screen menu, select Settings,
Network, and then Connect and activate now.
• If you want to start over from the beginning, use the Settings menu to do a Factory reset, and then go through
Guided Setup again. This time, choose your home network when prompted.
Regardless of how you connect, the process is the same. If you need details, see Step 3 on page
your TV.

Setting up Antenna TV

Despite all of the entertainment possibilities of your TV, you may also want to watch broadcast TV. You watch broadcast
TV in much the same way you watch other entertainment choices. You select a tile—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?

You might be asking, "Why is this step necessary?" Good question.
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, your 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.
Your TV will, however, let you add two analog channels, even if they have no signal. You might need to add these
channels if you have an older set top box, VCR, or game console that can only output a signal on analog channel 3 or 4.
These are the only channels that can be added regardless of whether they have a good signal. 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
