TV says please run channel auto scan. I have a roku device hooked up to the tv as well and I'm not sure if it's the correct thing to do??? Run auto scan??? I dont remember how to do the settings on the tv to get back to the original working tv. Also I've gotta use the settings on the TV for the tv setting options.

    Hi Patty Fisher, Got a make and model number on the TV ?
    The ROKU should be ok its coming in to the tv most likely on a HDMI port.
    The Auto scan is referring to the tv channels. In the TV menu (guessing as I don't have model or make ) look for channel setup and there should be an auto setup option you need to run.

The rescan is if you have cable or an antenna connection. It does not apply to a ROKU. Because broadcasters are adding subchannels regularly, urban over the air folkis should rescan every month or so.

Do I need an hd convert box to get free channels

If you have a digital tv then no. Go to menu, click on input, click tuner or tv, click antenna, run auto scan for channels. Make sure antenna is hooked up. Digital antenna is preferred but not mandatory. If you're not getting channels move antenna re-scan for channels. Hope this helps!

How do I hook up roku HD to DYNEX 32 inch TV purchased today. I used red, white, yellow cables, TV keeps asking for channel scan? Kate

The first time that the TV is activated, it expects to have to search for either over-the-air channels or CATV channels. Obviously, the ROKU is coming in on one of the Aux inputs, but you'll still have to run the scan just to get it out of the way.
