There are three easy ways to connect your cable or satellite receiver on your TCL Roku TV. Learn more at support.tclusa.com.

First, this video tutorial is great! And, although I already had/have my TV and Cable Box connected exactly like this, it's fantastic to know that this is how I'll be able to access Roku and Roku Channels. However..... On their TCL Roku page for this tutorial: "How to Connect your Cable or Satellite Receiver to your TCL Roku TV", their Step 5 has a Misprint in the first sentence! And due to my OCD, I feel that I needed to let it be known, so that they can hopefully change/fix their Misprint. Here below, copied and pasted between quotation marks, is their Step 5 - first sentence... "If the receiver if powered on and cables are properly plugged your TV will recognize the connection." Do you see the Misprint? Also, do you see where some Punctuation was "possibly" left out of that above sentence? I know this probably seems ridiculous, but it drives me crazy when I see/read where Editing was Not properly executed! Companies do pay darn good money for Editing!! So really, the Edited Information should Not have any Errors... ** End of my rant, lol **

Thank You so much!!! This info really helped me :)

[@allenmartell8225]

Great thank you very much but I appreciate it I'm not used to the old style but my mom bought a new Samsung TV and she doesn't have internet or nothing so thank you very much very helpful

[@ordinary_average_guy]

We used coax connection. The confusing part was there is an input icon showing a cable box, there is also an icon showing a pic of a coax cable labeled "Cable" yet we had to use the "Antenna" input icon?? Then we had to scan for cable (box) channels which I've never had to do before. Helpful video, just wish I would have found it 45 mins sooner...LOL

[@stevietv420]

How did you scan. That's what I cant find

[@whatsgoodjboog]

I can't wait to get my TCL Roku 32 TV on Thursday, I have Uverse 200 and it seems to be easy to hook it up, but was wondering do I have to scan the channels on Uverse?

[@BabyPink911]

I just got a TCL 50 roku today and trying to hook my uverse 200 up as well haha

[@martinezhernandez87]

Hi I’ve my grandfather and he want to access everything without using the roku remote control, so I configure all those steps but he still need to use the roku control to access the hdmi and stream the direct tv, how can I avoid that?

[@Crumpet3000]

THANKS!!!

[@willymccoy1588]

I have looked for 2 hours trying to find out if a roku is cable ready. I hope you were right. I am going to order it now.

[@anandnandu2288]

Thank u

[@donseeya9094]

Ok, I just got the 32 inch TCL Roku. I had satellite cable working. I watched streaming TV, and now it can't go back to cable. I rescanned like you said, it took about 10 minutes. Still no satellite cable. Nice how you don't answer anyone back, thanks.

[@bvicgvegas5781]

Same problem. Ever figure it out

[@angelosalamino4672]

The standard cable is bibber than the receive input on the TV. Where do you find the right cable

[@rebeccalight7015]

The error that is coming up when using the HDMI is "We have detected an issue with poor or no video signal on your Set Top Box" Can you help?

My cable box has all 3 AV,HDMI,and Coaxial cable.Any suggestions on which one would be better?

[@lexbeats]

What they don't tell you is that you won't be able to control the cable box guide or change the channels with the Roku remote.

[@zbrahh]

Damn. That's the only answer I was looking for. So we'll need 2 remote again huh? Sucks.

[@lexbeats]

Zora Gill yep. It sucks!!

[@Kereign]

@@lexbeats mind as well buy a new TV since buying all those things cost more than the actual tv ugh 😑

ROKU TV IS #1.

[@sidnotthesloth1827]

[@hernandayolearyallda]

@tcl usa, how do you switch from ROKU remote to your regular cable remote? The roku remote is very lacking, brand new, barely works.

[@cipherrevenant3239]

did you ever figure this out? having the same problem

[@hernandayolearyallda]

@@cipherrevenant3239 Yeah I did. In my case, you had to point the roku remote at a certain angle in line with the lighted receptor on the tv for entering only the email address to connect the roku remote. Unfortunately, it took like 30 minutes just to enter 15 character email address, but it worked fine there after. I also found a post where you basically take out the batteries, press every button hard and fast, and repeat this 2-3 times. It works, kinda

[@anthonypapaleo1940]

I just bought a 40 tlc 325 and I tried to hook up the Hmdi cable new one to the cable box to hmdi arc outlet and get no signal asking for the box is on ? For life of me it would not work and so I hook up the cable line from my box to cable inlet and it works ? Why is it ?it only gets 480 p Thur cable type .. anybody please help it really frustrate me ..

[@34thncrenshaw]

let me know if you find any solutions please!!!!!!!!!!

[@Spicifiy1]

I had horrendous CONcast for 35 years but now have a Roku TV I can't find ANYTHING on. I attached an antenna for local channels & it takes FOREVER to find the relevant channels among the 58 other channels. I'm thinking of subscribing to DISH satellite but don't know how it integrates with the Roku. I CERTAINLY don't want to have to use the infuriating Roku remote to get the Dish channels. I tried a chat on the Dish site who said you have to use BOTH remotes. At the rate we misplaced our CONcast remotes, this sounds like a real nightmare.

[@34thncrenshaw]

why do you call them concast, my mom hates them too

[@cyclingtj]

Not all of your tvs are equipped with AV inputs. The 50" we just got does not have that. Not sure what to do to watch cable tv through this tv.

[@samanthawilliams8216]

There’s no scanning option for me when I’m trying to set up cable. What do I do?

[@fresh2k2004]

Hit the * key on your remote while the Antenna option is selected in the home screen. This will bring up the option to scan for live and cable channels.

Very vague video and disappointing because most people in the comments, including myself, would like to know some trouble shooting tips to get this working. I’m using a brand new HDMI cable and both devices are on and working and the correct HDMI port is selected and I’m still getting a “No Signal (Is It On?)” response. The only advice on the roku website says replace the hdmi cable. I just feel so out of luck and options here.

[@donseeya9094]

These instructions are for a TCL, not an Onn. But mine worked for a short time and now won't recognize the coaxial cable once I switched to streaming. I can't go back, now how many times I try to rescan. I'm tempted to do a reset, but I bet it screws up again.

[@supermanrulesbatmansucks6498]

Lol, the whole "cord cutting" thing is such bullshit, literally all of the cable channels on roku require u to have cable or satellite, how the FUCK could u say "cord cutting" when you are literally asking people to have cable or satellite? That's such an oxymoron, here's what you need to do if u have decided to buy a Roku stick, or a roku tv, or anything with "Roku" on it, get Netflix which u obviously need to pay for, get tubi tv which is one of the few FREE channels on Roku which is actually somewhat decent, get Pluto tv which is also free and somewhat decent, get the KZbin channel and thank God that is free, get the Roku channel which is free and is somewhat decent, and I don't know, that's about it, if u REALLY want to save money on cable or satellite that's basically it for Roku, just pay for nextflix which is only about 11 bucks a month at the standard plan, and download all those other channels that I listed which ARE free, idk, maybe u could get Amazon prime, or Hulu, or something else like that, but you GOT to pay for those don't ya? So just get on that screen cast app, and stream anything u fucking want from all the countless pirate websites all over the internet, because that's basically what Roku wants us to do when they tell us to have cable or satellite in order for a channel to work, so again, screen cast absolutely everything with that screen cast app Roku has
