SEARCHING FOR CHANNELS

Now, you’ll be asked for your ZIP code so 
that Simple.TV can find the right guide 
data for you. If you are using an antenna, 
choose the OTA option that’s listed. 
Remember, Simple.TV can be used with 
most basic cable systems and antenna, 
not with digital cable or satellite.

The channel scan process can take about 
20 minutes to complete. 

The final step is to remove channels you 
don’t want from the guide. For example, 
you may want to remove channels that 
broadcast in languages you don’t speak.
