Changing privacy settings By	default,	when	connected	to	the	Internet	and	activated	with	your	Roku	account,	the	TV	uses	an	advertising	identifier	to	track	your	usage	behavior.	You	can	change	the	privacy	settings	on	your	TV	in	two	ways:	resetting	the	advertising	identifier	and	limiting	ad	tracking.	Note:	Privacy	settings	are	not	present	on	TVs	operating	in	non-connected	mode.	Resetting the advertising identifier Resetting	the	advertising	identifier	has	the	effect	of	clearing	your	prior	usage	history	and	starting	over.	From	that	point	forward,	your	new	usage	patterns	affect	the	advertisements	you	see	on	your	TV.	To	reset	the	advertising	identifier:	1. From	the	Home	screen	menu,	navigate	to	Settings	>	System	>	Privacy.	2. Highlight	Reset	advertising	identifier.	Press	Þ	to	view	more	information	about	this	option.	When	you	finishing	reading	the	information,	press	OK	to	close	the	More	Information	window.	3. Press	OK	to	reset	the	advertising	identifier,	and	then	press	OK	again	to	dismiss	the	verification	message.	Limiting ad tracking You	can	limit	Roku’s	tracking	of	your	usage	behavior	by	limiting	ad	tracking.	When	you	do,	your	TV	will	display	ads	that	are	not	personalized	based	on	your	TV’s	advertising	identifier.

										Page	45				My Feed Use	My	Feed	to	find	out	when	you	can	watch	movies	coming	soon,	and	to	get	updates	on	movies,	TV	shows,	and	actors	that	you	are	following.		Movies Coming Soon My	Feed	gives	you	updates	on	your	list	of	movies	that	are	coming	soon	to	theaters.	With	My	Feed,	you’ll	know	when	your	favorite	movie	is	ready	to	stream,	the	channels	it	is	on,	and	how	much	it	will	cost.	Select	the	movies	you	want	to	follow	by	going	to	My	Feed	>	Movies	Coming	Soon.	You’ll	then	see	a	list	of	newly	released	movies	that	are	not	yet	available	on	Roku	streaming	devices.	Select	a	movie,	and	then	select	Follow	this	movie	on	Roku.	When	you	return	to	the	main	My	Feed	screen,	you’ll	see	banners	for	each	of	your	newly-followed	movies	along	with	banners	for	movies	and	TV	shows	you’re	already	following.		Movies, TV shows, and people In	addition	to	following	movies	coming	soon,	you	can	follow	any	movie,	TV	show,	or	actor	across	top	streaming	channels.	To	follow	a	program,	use	the	Search	feature	to	find	the	movie,	TV	show,	or	name	that	you	want	to	follow,	and	then	select	Follow	this	movie/TV	show/person	on	Roku.	For	more	information,	see	“Searching	for	something	to	watch”	on	page	46.	Note:	The	TV	takes	a	bit	of	time	to	update	your	newly-followed	shows.	Until	it	finds	at	least	one	channel	offering	the	movie,	the	content	banner	in	My	Feed	shows	Check	back	later	for	updates.	My	Feed	alerts	you	any	time	a	movie	or	TV	show	you	are	following	becomes	available	on	another	channel	and	whenever	its	price	changes.		A	number	in	parentheses	next	to	My	Feed	in	the	Home	menu	means	that	My	Feed	has	updated	information	that	you	haven’t	viewed	yet.	For	example,	you	if	three	of	your	followed	shows	have	updates,	you’ll	see	My	Feed	(3).	Note:	When	a	movie	or	TV	show	you	are	following	becomes	available,	the	streaming	channel	offering	the	movie	might	require	that	you	subscribe	or	pay	a	fee	to	view	it.	Tip:	My	Feed	is	available	only	if	your	TV	is	connected	to	the	Internet.		 
						

										Page	46				Searching for something to watch Searching	for	movies	and	shows	across	multiple	streaming	channels	is	one	of	the	unique	features	of	your	TCL	•	Roku	TV.	Within	a	single	search	operation,	you	can	search	by:	• Movie	name	• TV	show	name	• Actor	or	director	name	• Streaming	channel	name	• Game	name	Tip:	Roku	Search	is	available	only	if	your	TV	is	connected	to	the	Internet.	Note:	Roku	Search	doesn’t	search	across	all	streaming	channels,	but	searches	across	lots	of	popular	streaming	channels.	The	actual	channels	it	searches	vary	by	locale,	but	include	popular	providers	such	as	Netflix	and	several	others,	with	more	being	added	all	the	time.	You	can	check	which	streaming	channels	are	included	in	Roku	Search	by	going	to	the	Search	screen,	clearing	all	previous	searches	to	reveal	the	search	instructions,	and	then	watching	the	channel	tiles	cycle	at	the	bottom	of	the	screen.	To	search,	select	Search	on	the	Home	screen	menu.	The	Search	screen	has	a	keyboard	grid	and	initially	displays	instructions—a	set	of	icons	representing	search	categories	and	a	list	of	participating	provider	tiles.	Tip:	If	you	don’t	see	the	instructions,	navigate	to	the	end	of	the	list	of	recent	searches	and	select	Clear	recent	search	selections.	How do I search? To	search,	use	the	arrow	buttons	to	navigate	the	on-screen	keyboard,	entering	a	few	characters	of	the	search	term.	With	each	additional	character	you	enter,	you	narrow	down	the	search	and	the	search	results	become	more	relevant.	 
						

										Page	47				Tip:	Use	the	free	Roku	mobile	app	on	your	compatible	smartphone	or	tablet	to	make	searching	even	faster.	Not	only	can	you	use	your	device’s	keypad	to	type,	you	can	search	simply	by	touching	the	voice	search	icon	and	saying	the	name	of	the	movie,	TV	show,	actor	or	director,	channel,	or	game.	An	icon	next	to	each	search	result	shows	the	category	of	the	result	(movie,	TV	show,	actor).		• Press	the	RIGHT	arrow	to	move	the	highlight	into	the	list	of	search	results.	• Press	the	UP	and	DOWN	arrows	to	scroll	through	the	list	of	search	results	to	highlight	the	item	you	want	to	view.	I found a show, now what? Now	that	you’ve	highlighted	the	show,	movie,	actor,	game,	or	streaming	channel	you	were	looking	for,	press	the	RIGHT	arrow.		If	your	search	result	was	an	actor,	director,	or	other	item	that	does	not	represent	a	single	item	of	content,	you’ll	see	another	list	to	narrow	down	your	search.	Continue	highlighting	results	and	pressing	the	RIGHT	arrow	until	you	find	a	single,	viewable	content	item.	• An	HD	logo	means	that	the	content	is	available	in	high-definition.		• The	checked	circle	adjacent	to	the	title	means	you	have	already	added	the	streaming	channel.	If	your	search	result	was	a	game	or	a	streaming	channel,	you’ll	see	detailed	information,	images,	and	available	actions,	such	as	a	list	of	streaming	channels	and	the	cost	of	getting	the	item	or	channel.	Note:	Some	channels	may	require	a	paid	subscription.	Follow on Roku Rather	than	watch	the	show	you	found	in	Search,	you	can	add	it	to	My	Feed	and	wait	until	it’s	available	on	a	particular	streaming	channel	or	available	at	a	better	price.	From	the	search	results	screen,	select	Follow	on	Roku.	Then	go	to	My	Feed	periodically	to	check	for	updates	to	each	of	your	followed	movies,	TV	shows,	or	people.	For	more	information,	see	“My	Feed”	on	page	45.	Recent Searches The	next	time	you	use	Roku	Search,	the	Search	screen	displays	a	list	of	recent	search	selections	in	place	of	the	search	instructions.	Using	the	recent	search	selections	list	makes	it	easy	to	quickly	get	to	a	previously	found	item,	for	example,	to	find	another	movie	with	the	same	actor,	or	another	TV	show	in	the	same	series.	 
						

										Page	48				Using the Roku Channel Store The	Streaming	Channels	menu	option	takes	you	to	the	Roku	Channel	store,	where	you	can	add	new	paid	and	free	streaming	channels	to	your	TV.		Tips:		• The	Streaming	Channels	menu	option	is	available	only	if	your	TV	is	connected	to	the	Internet.	• You	also	can	search	for	streaming	channels	by	using	the	Search	option,	as	explained	in	“Searching	for	something	to	watch”	on	page	46.	To	make	it	easier	to	find	what	you	want,	the	streaming	channels	in	the	Roku	Channel	Store	are	categorized	by	topic.	Press	the	UP	and	DOWN	arrows	to	highlight	the	category	you	want,	and	then	press	the	RIGHT	arrow	to	move	the	highlight	into	the	grid	of	streaming	channel	tiles.		When	you	find	a	streaming	channel	you	want	to	add	or	learn	more	about,	highlight	it	and	press	OK	to	display	more	details.	• If	the	streaming	channel	you	are	adding	is	free,	you	can	select	Go	to	channel	to	start	watching	it	immediately.		• If	there	is	a	one-time	or	recurring	fee	associated	with	using	the	streaming	channel,	you	must	agree	to	the	terms	and	conditions,	accept	the	fee,	and—if	you	created	one	when	you	activated	your	Roku	TV,	enter	your	Roku	PIN	code	to	authorize	the	charges.	• If	you	already	have	a	subscription	to	the	streaming	channel—for	example,	you	already	subscribe	to	Netflix	or	you	receive	HBO	through	your	cable	TV	provider—you	must	complete	a	different,	simple	authorization	step	to	add	the	streaming	channel.	You	only	have	to	complete	the	authorization	or	activation	step	one	time,	when	you	initially	add	the	streaming	channel.	After	that,	you	simply	select	the	streaming	channel	tile	from	your	Home	screen	to	start	watching.	(Channel	and	content	availability	is	subject	to	change.	Charges	may	apply	to	your	selection.)	Tip:	New	streaming	channels	are	added	continuously,	so	be	sure	to	check	back	every	now	and	then.	Note:	If	you	don’t	remember	your	PIN,	or	if	want	to	change	whether	you	need	to	use	a	PIN	to	make	purchases	on	your	Roku	account,	see	“Changing	your	Roku	Channel	Store	PIN	preference”	on	page	69.	 
						

										Page	49				Customizing your TV  There	are	several	things	you	can	do	to	personalize	your	TV.	Rearrange tiles Whenever	you	add	a	TV	input	tile,	it’s	added	at	the	top	of	your	Home	screen.	Whenever	you	add	a	new	streaming	channel	from	the	Roku	Channel	Store,	it’s	added	at	the	bottom	of	your	Home	screen.	You	can	easily	rearrange	the	order	of	the	tiles	on	the	Home	screen	to	suit	your	viewing	preferences.	For	example,	you	might	want	Antenna	TV	to	be	the	first	tile	in	your	Home	screen.	But	if	you	mostly	watch	one	streaming	channel,	you	might	want	its	tile	to	be	the	first	one	on	your	Home	screen.	Rearranging	tiles	is	easy:	1. From	the	Home	screen,	highlight	one	of	the	tiles	you	want	to	move.		2. Press	Þ	to	display	a	list	of	options	for	the	type	of	tile	you	selected.	3. Select	Move	input	or	Move	channel.	The	list	of	options	disappears	and	the	highlighted	tile	shows	arrows	indicating	how	it	can	be	moved		Note:	A	paid	subscription	or	other	payments	may	be	required	for	some	channels.	Channel	availability	is	subject	to	change	and	varies	by	country.	Not	all	content	is	available	in	countries	or	regions	where	Roku®	products	are	sold.	4. Use	the	arrow	buttons	to	move	the	highlighted	tile	to	its	new	position.	As	you	move	the	tile,	it	pushes	other	tiles	out	of	its	way.	5. Press	OK	to	lock	the	tile	into	its	new	position.	 
						

										Page	50				6. Repeat	these	steps	to	move	other	tiles	until	you	have	arranged	your	Home	screen	to	your	liking.	Edit broadcast TV channel lineup When	you	set	up	the	TV	tuner	as	described	in	“Setting	up	Antenna	TV”	on	page	26,	the	TV	adds	all	the	channels	with	good	signals	that	it	could	detect	in	your	area.	It’s	likely	that	you	now	have	more	channels	than	you	want	in	your	channel	list.		To	edit	the	channel	lineup,	from	the	Home	screen,	navigate	to	Settings	>	TV	inputs	>	Antenna	TV	>	Edit	channel	lineup.	You’ll	see	a	screen	listing	all	of	your	channels.	Adjacent	to	the	list	of	channels	is	a	miniature	TV	screen	playing	the	highlighted	channel’s	picture	and	sound.		Highlight	each	channel	you	want	to	hide,	and	then	press	OK	to	hide	the	channel.		Tip:	If	you	need	to	see	or	hear	the	highlighted	channel,	wait	a	couple	of	seconds	for	the	TV	to	start	playing	the	channel’s	picture	and	sound.	Also	note	that	if	you’ve	enabled	parental	controls	and	the	program	on	the	current	channel	is	blocked,	you	won’t	see	a	picture	or	hear	sound	while	editing	the	channel	lineup.		Rename inputs Rather	than	trying	to	remember	that	your	Blu-ray	player	is	connected	to	HDMI	1	and	your	game	console	is	connected	to	HDMI	3,	you	can	rename	the	TV	inputs	to	match	the	connected	component.	Note:	Renaming	an	input	also	changes	the	icon	associated	with	it.	 
						

										Page	51				To	rename	an	input,	you	can	either:	• Highlight	the	input	tile	in	the	Home	screen,	and	then	press	Þ	to	display	a	list	of	options.	From	the	list	of	options,	select	Rename	input.	Then	select	a	new	name	and	icon.	or	• From	the	Home	screen,	navigate	to	Settings	>	TV	inputs.

The	new	name	and	icon	are	now	in	effect.	Remove unwanted tiles It’s	easy	to	remove	unused	TV	inputs	and	unwanted	channel	or	app	tiles.	For	example,	if	you	never	use	the	HDMI	3	input,	or	if	you	don’t	like	the	weather	app	you	added	from	the	Roku	Channel	Store,	you	can	remove	them	from	your	Home	screen.		Note:	You	also	can	remove	the	Antenna	TV	tile	if	you	never	use	the	TV	tuner.	But	be	aware	that	removing	the	Antenna	TV	tile	also	deletes	the	broadcast	TV	channel	list.	You’ll	have	to	set	up	the	TV	tuner	again	next	time	you	want	to	view	broadcast	TV.	Instructions	for	setting	up	the	TV	tuner	can	be	found	in	“Setting	up	Antenna	TV”	on	page	26.	• To	remove	any	tile,	highlight	the	input	tile	in	the	Home	screen,	and	then	press	Þ	to	display	a	list	of	options.

In	the	screen	that	follows,	confirm	you	want	to	remove	the	input.	• Alternatively,	to	remove	a	TV	input	tile	from	the	Home	screen,	navigate	to	Settings	>	TV	inputs.	On	the	TV	inputs	screen,	select	the	input	you	want	to	remove,	and	then	select	Remove	>	Confirm.	Then	press		to	return	to	the	Home	screen.	Change themes Another	way	to	customize	your	TV	is	to	change	its	theme.	The	theme	establishes	the	look	and	feel	of	the	TV	through	colors,	designs,	and	fonts.	Tip:	Themes	are	available	only	when	your	TV	is	connected	to	the	Internet.	Some	themes	require	payment.	To	change	the	theme,	in	the	Home	screen	menu	navigate	to	Settings	>	Themes.	In	the	Themes	screen,	choose	from	the	following	options:	• My	themes	–	Highlight	a	theme,	and	then	press	OK	to	switch	to	that	theme.		 
						

										Page	52				• Custom	settings	–	Turn	Featured	themes	on	or	off.	When	Featured	themes	is	on,	the	TV	automatically	switches	to	featured	themes—like	certain	holiday-inspired	themes	—for	a	limited	time	whenever	Roku	makes	them	available,	and	then	switches	back	to	your	selected	theme	when	the	featured	theme	expires.	When	off,	the	TV	always	uses	your	selected	theme.	Change sound effects volume Sound	effects	are	the	noises	the	TV	makes	to	let	you	know	it	received	your	command.	You	can	change	the	volume	of	sound	effects	or	turn	them	off.	To	adjust	the	sound	effects	volume,	in	the	Home	screen	menu,	navigate	to	Settings	>	Audio	>	Menu	volume.
