Setup of analog channels on Xiaomi TV: from connecting antenna to saving list

Xiaomi TVs (Mi series) TV 4/4S/4A/4C/5/5X And others support analogue television over the air antenna, but many users have difficulty setting up the first setup (DVB-T2), And if you have an automatic search, the analog signal needs to be regional, signal strength, even weather. TV does not find channels or shows them with interference, the problem lies not in the TV, but in the wrong settings or weak signal.

In this article, we'll go through the whole process, from selecting an antenna to fine-tuning frequencies manually.

• 🔌 Connect the antenna to Xiaomi TV Right (including the unconnected models) RF-IN)
• 📡 Automatic and manual search for analog channels
• 🎛️ Adjust signal parameters to improve image quality
• 🔧 Resolve typical problems: snow on the screen, lack of sound, loss of channels

We will pay special attention to the Mi model. TV 5 Pro and New Versions of Google TV, where the customization interface is different from the classic PatchWall. All instructions are relevant for firmware 2023-2026.

1.Preparation: Which antenna is right for Xiaomi TV

Before you set up channels, make sure your antenna is analog broadcast compatible and connected correctly. Xiaomi TVs support the standard PAL/DK (for Russia and CIS countries, but the quality of the signal depends on the:

• 📍 Distances to the TV tower - in the city is enough room antenna, outside the city will need a street with an amplifier.
• 📶 Frequency band – analog TV broadcasts in the range of 48-230 MHz (meter waves) and 470-862 MHz (decimeter).
• 🔌 Type of connector - Xiaomi TV standard RF-IN (a socket under the "dad" on the cable. TV Stick, you will need an external tuner.

To check the signal level in your area, use the RTRS coverage card. If the tower is further than 30 km, buy an antenna with a signal amplifier (for example, Rolsen). RLA-10 locus LA-25AN).

⚠️ Attention: Analog TV in Russia is gradually shutting down (planned until 2027) if only digital TV is broadcasting in your region (DVB-T2), Analog channel configuration will not be possible.

2. Connecting antenna to Xiaomi TV

If you're Xiaomi. TV plug-in RF-IN (round nest with a central pin, the connection will take a minute:

1. Swipe the F-connector on the antenna cable (if it is not, squeeze a special crimping tool).
2. Put the plug in the connector. RF-IN back-screen.
3. If the antenna is active (with an amplifier), connect its power supply to the outlet.

On some models (e.g., Mi) TV Q1E or Mi TV ES 2022 connector RF-IN It can be hidden under a cover, and there are also televisions without a built-in tuner, in which case you need an external device. DVB-T2 The prefix (connected through the HDMI).

After you connect, turn on your TV and go to the channel settings menu. TV (for example, Xiaomi TV A2 43) The way is this:

Settings (cogs) → Channels and inputs → Etheric TV → Channel settings

3. Automatic search of analog channels

The easiest way to do this is to run an auto search. The algorithm is the same for most Xiaomi models, but it may vary slightly depending on the firmware:

1. Open the Settings menu → Channels → On-air TV.
2. Select "Automatic settings".
3. State: Russia (or your region if the TV supports local settings).
4. In the Signal Type section, tick Analog TV (digital can be turned off to speed up the process).
5. Run a search with the Start button.

It takes 5 to 15 minutes, and the TV will scan all the frequencies in sequence, and it will save the channels that you find, and if you don't have enough or too few channels, then you can manually adjust the channels.

⚠️ Note: On Google models TV (for example, Xiaomi TV A Pro) autosearch can automatically skip weak analog signals. To avoid this, turn off the option "Slow Signal Channels" in additional settings before starting the search.

If the TV finds channels, but they are displayed without sound or with blue stripes, the problem is the wrong chromaticity system. → Channels → Change the standard and change the standard with PAL on SECAM (vice versa).

4. Manual adjustment of analog channels

If the automatic search didn't work, you'd have to type in the frequencies manually.

• 📌 Channel number (e.g. Channel One is broadcast on Channel 1 or Channel 6 in your region).
• 📡 The frequency of the carrier (in MHz) can be found on the local TV center website or through the TV-Channels service.

Instructions for manual adjustment:

1. Go to Settings. → Channels → On-air TV → Manual setting.
2. Select Analog TV.
3. Enter the channel frequency (for example, 175.25 MHz for Channel 6 in Moscow).
4. Press "Search" and wait for the signal to be fixed.
5. If the image appears, save the channel with a button "OK".

For convenience, the following is a table of frequencies of popular channels in major cities (data is current for 2026):

💡

If you don’t know the frequency of the channel, try scanning the range in 1 MHz increments. For example, for channel 6, enter 174.00 MHz and gradually increase the value to 176.00 MHz, launching a search at each step.

5. Signal optimization: how to get rid of snow and interference

Even if the channels are found, the image quality may be poor.

• 🌩️ Weak signal – check the cable for damage, try to reorient the antenna.
• 📻 Amplifier overload – if the antenna with the amplifier is close, the signal may be too strong.
• 🏙️ Multipathy – reflected signals from buildings create a “double” image.

Decisions:

1. Adjust the antenna position: rotate it 10-15 degrees and monitor the image quality, and the optimal position is when the signal is stable and the snow is minimal.
2. Use a interference filter: if there are radio interference sources nearby (e.g., radio interference sources, LTE-towers, set up LC-filter between antenna and TV.
3. Set up manual correction: in the Settings menu → Channels → You can also find the signal level and signal quality options. Try to adjust the balance manually.

On Xiaomi models TV P1 And then there's the automatic signal optimization feature, so you can activate it:

Settings → System → Additional → Optimization of TV signal

💡

If interference only appears on some channels, the problem is their frequency. Try to manually change the bandwidth in the tuner settings (the "Stripe" or "Bandwidth" option).

Conservation and sorting of channels

Once you've done a successful search, the channels are saved to a common list, but the order can be chaotic.

1. Open Settings → Channels → Channel Management.
2. Select "Edit the list."
3. Use the buttons. ↑/↓ on the remote to move the channel to the desired position.
4. To remove unnecessary channels, press "OK" on the channel and select "Delete".

On Google TVs TV interface:

Settings → Channels and inputs → Channel management → Change the order

To avoid losing settings after updating your firmware, export the channel list:

1. Go to Settings. → Channels → Exports/imports.
2. Select "Export to" USB".
3. Connect the flash drive and save the file (usually with the.dtv extension).

⚠️ Note: When resetting the TV to factory settings (Settings) → System system → All the stored channels will be removed, and they can only be restored through import from the USB.

Typical problems and their solutions

We will analyze the most common errors when configuring analog channels on Xiaomi TV:

If after all the manipulations, the channels did not appear, check:

• 🔌 Connecting an antenna – try another cable or connector.
• 📺 TV mode - some models (Mi) TV 4A) In the "Hotel" mode, the setting of channels is blocked.
• 🔄 Update firmware - outdated software may not support analog TV. Update TV through Settings → System system → Update of the PO.
