01Check Cable TV Compatibility
- Firstly, check if your smart TV is compatible with cable TV. Most smart TVs come with built-in tuners that allow you to connect cable directly to the TV.
- Ensure that your cable TV provider supports connecting their service to a smart TV. You may need to contact their customer support or refer to their website for compatibility information.
- If your smart TV does not have a built-in tuner, you will need an external cable box or a digital TV converter box.
- Make sure you have a working cable TV subscription and your cable provider has activated your account.
02Connect the Cable
- Locate the cable TV input on your smart TV. It is usually labeled 'Cable' or 'RF In'.
- Connect one end of the coaxial cable to the cable outlet in your wall.
- Connect the other end of the coaxial cable to the cable TV input on your smart TV.
- Ensure that the cable is securely connected and tightened.
- If you are using an external cable box, connect the cable from the cable outlet to the cable box first, and then use an HDMI cable to connect the cable box to your smart TV.
03Run the Channel Setup
- Turn on your smart TV and go to the 'Settings' menu.
- Navigate to the 'Channels' or 'Tuner' section.
- Select 'Auto Program' or 'Auto Scan' to start the channel setup process.
- Your smart TV will scan and detect available cable channels.
- Once the scan is complete, save the channels by selecting 'Save' or 'Finish'.
- You can now access and watch cable TV channels on your smart TV.

Congratulations, you have successfully set up cable TV on your smart TV. Enjoy watching your favorite shows and channels!
