Missing TV Inputs in Settings

Jump to solution

Hi everyone, "TV Inputs" is supposed to be under settings. It is missing from my settings. How do I find it?  I'm trying to use my antennae with my Roku and the Roku website says to do the following but I don't have TV Inputs under settings:

  1. Connect the coaxial cable from your HDTV antenna to the “Ant/Cable In” connector on the back of your Roku TV.
  2. Turn on your Roku TV, go to Home and select Live TV. If Live TV is missing, you can add it by going to Settings > TV inputs > Live TV > Set up input.
  3. Follow the instructions on the TV screen to complete setup.

We appreciate you for joining us here at the Roku Community, @Anon2013.

Thanks for raising your concern with us. Please be aware that when you plug in an external device on your Roku TV, you can directly find it on your Home screen. 

Navigate on your Home screen and press the upward button on your remote; it will be labeled as HDMI 1, HDMI 2, or AV. Furthermore, here's our Support article to further help your Roku TV to recognize the external device.

Let us know how it goes! We'll be looking forward to your update. 

Kind regards,
Carly

Do you have an actual RokuTV?  Not a little box or stick connected to your TV.

Thank you, after reading more into it, I realized this option was only for those who have a Roku TV.  I wish Roku would take down the video under tips & tricks - it doesn't show that you have to a Roku TV.  I appreciate the reply 🙂

I have the TV inputs, but only says Antennae.  Wanted a shortcut to Antennae, which I have and do not have the Live TV as stated.  I DO have a ROKU TV.

I'm having the same issue. Options for antenna tv, and hdmi are not listed channels on the home screen. I've gone to settings, but there is no selection for "tv input". Does this only work for actual roku tvs and not ones with the roku box?

You need a Roku TV to have input settings.  However you can connect your antenna or other devices to any TV with HDMI inputs

If I don’t have a Roku tv, how do I access the input settings?
