MYTVOnline2: set up a USB tuner and scan antenna channels

Antenna reception is separate from an Internet portal. A compatible USB tuner can scan terrestrial services through the demonstrated workflow, but a USB port does not mean that every tuner is supported.

Quick answer

Check the device–tuner combination and local broadcast standard first. In MYTVOnline2, open Connections → Add Terrestrial → Scan, choose the correct country and start the scan. In Canada, do not automatically copy a European DVB-T example: check the manufacturer’s ATSC compatibility list.

Before you start

  • Identify the exact box and tuner model, including the hardware ID where needed. The demonstration uses a Z8; it does not establish universal compatibility.
  • Prepare a suitable antenna and cable. Choosing a country in a menu cannot convert an incompatible tuner into one that supports the required broadcast standard.

The steps

STEP 01Connect suitable hardware
STEP 02Add terrestrial reception
STEP 03Check country and scan mode
STEP 04Scan and test reception

  1. Connect suitable hardware

    The demonstrated sequence connects the tuner to USB and the antenna to the tuner before booting the box. Follow the instructions for your own hardware and check the connections without forcing them. Allow startup to finish.

  2. Add terrestrial reception

    Open MYTVOnline2 and Connections, using Menu if the app is already running. Select Add Terrestrial and then Scan to reach Tuner Scan. If the tuner is not recognized, check the hardware before trying random settings.

  3. Check country and scan mode

    Choose the installation country in Select Country. The demonstrated Auto Full mode performs a full search within the available setup. A frequency-specific search requires the appropriate frequency information. The countries browsed in the video are only examples.

  4. Scan and test reception

    Choose Start Scanning and let the scan finish. Inspect the TV/radio totals, then open Watch DVB Live Channels in the example interface. Select a received channel and test picture and sound on your installation.

Check the result

A received, playable channel is the useful result, not just a scan total. The demonstration’s 22 TV channels are not a promise: results depend on the standard, antenna, signal and local coverage.

If your result differs

The tuner or Add Terrestrial is missing

Check the exact model and device ID against the official list, then inspect the connections. Appearance alone does not establish compatibility.

The scan finds no channels

Check the reception standard, antenna, country and mode before scanning again.

Internet portals work but antenna reception does not

They are separate sources. One working does not validate the other’s hardware or signal.

Frequently asked questions

Will a DVB-T tuner automatically work in Canada?

No. Formuler distinguishes North American ATSC tuners from European DVB terrestrial tuners. Verify the exact model for your installation.

Does the tuner add a subscription?

No. It receives available compatible antenna signals; it does not create a subscription or portal access.

What to do next

Check compatibility before purchasing, then verify actual playback after scanning. Keep the exact tuner model with your configuration notes.
