Tip:
Cable TV channels are channels from a cable TV provider that you can receive by connecting their
cable directly to your TV (unscrambled NTSC, ATSC, and QAM channels, if you’re the kind of person who is

and connect it to a different input, and then use the set- top box to tune your cable stations. In that case,
you can skip scanning for cable channels.

Scanning for channels can take several minutes.
Tip
: Repeat the channel scan from time to time to make sure you are receiving all of the latest channels.
Broadcasters add and remove channels, move channels to different parts of the spectrum, and change the
power levels of their channels periodically.
Note
: You’ll have to repeat the channel scan if you remove the
Antenna TV
tile from the Home screen or
perform a factory reset. To repeat the channel scan at any time, go to
Settings > TV inputs > Antenna TV
> Set up input

your location relative to the antennas of broadcasters in your area.
