To watch TV channels on your Vizio E500i-A1 with an antenna without having to set it up every time, you need to ensure that the TV has correctly scanned and stored the available channels in your area.
Here are the steps to set up your Vizio E500i-A1 with an antenna:
1. Connect the antenna to the TV's RF connector.
2. Turn on the TV and press the "Menu" button on your remote control.
3. Select "Tuner" from the menu options and then choose "Antenna" as the input source.
4. Choose "Auto Channel Scan" or "Auto Tuning" from the menu, depending on your TV's model.
5. Wait for the scan to complete. This process may take a few minutes as the TV searches for available channels in your area.
6. Once the scan is complete, your TV will have stored all available channels.
7. To watch TV channels on your antenna, simply press the "Input" button on your remote control and select "Antenna" as the input source. You can then use the channel up and down buttons to browse through the channels.
After completing these steps, you should be able to watch TV channels on your Vizio E500i-A1 with your antenna without having to set it up every time
