Fios® TV Local

Learn how to setup your TV to watch local channels without a Set-Top Box

Step by Step Instructions

Step 1 – Make The Connections
Getting started with Fios TV is easy, once you complete the installation or activation process:

Using your Fios remote turn your TV to Channel 131, Fios Learning On Demand where support is available 24 hours, 7 days a week
You will need to locate or purchase a coax cable

Standard Install: Connect the coax cable from your TV^* to a coax wall outlet

Alternate Install: If a Fios router is already connected to the coax wall out, then use a splitter. Connect a second coax cable from the splitter to the TV^*

^* Connection supported on TVs with a QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) digital tuners or those with a digital converter box with a QAM digital tuner.
Step 2 – Scan For Channels
TV models vary, so the best option is to use channel scan instructions from your TV owner’s manual. General instructions are below.
