SETUP
SET UP YOUR ANTENNA & INTERNET.
- Mount your antenna.
A. If you already have your own antenna installed, skip to Step 2.

C. Mount your antenna (keep in mind that you may want to move your antenna after we check your reception in POWER UP PILOT, Step 3).
D. Refer to the antenna installation instructions now, but don’t connect the cable to your TV. You’ll read more about that in a moment.
- Connect your antenna to Pilot.

CONNECT PILOT TO YOUR TV.
- Connect HDMI cable.
A. Connect the supplied HDMI cable from the HDMI port on Pilot to the HDMI input that you’ve identified on your TV (Diagram 3).

A. If everything is good to this point, you should see an Android TV logo on your TV screen.
The pilot will then fly you through the rest of the setup on screen.
B. If you don’t see the Android TV logo followed by instructions, make sure your TV is set to the HDMI input that Pilot is hooked up to. Then, make sure that your cables are connected. - Make sure Pilot has found your channels.
(Don’t worry, you are almost there).

Re-scanning for Channels
If you didn’t get all of the channels you were expecting in Power Up Pilot, Step 3, or at any time you aren’t receiving the reception you expect, try the following steps:
- Move your antenna to a new location (keep in mind that higher is usually better and a window is sometimes better than a wall).
- Using your Pilot remote, go to homescreen>settings>channel scan>channel scan and then scan. This will take a few minutes, but the Pilot will scan all available frequencies and look for all of your channels.
- If you have all of the channels you’d expect (see Power Up Pilot, Steps 3B & 3C), permanently mount your antenna where it is and you are done.
- If you still don’t have all of your channels, go back to Power Up Pilot, Step 3, and try again. Depending on the location and type of home as well as the type of antenna that you are using, it may take a few tries to get the best possible signal.
