• When you use cable TV and select [Antenna (DVB-T)], the TV will only store analog cable channels
• When [Cable (DVB-C)] is selected, the TV will detect cable company supplied signals and will search for cable TV channels available in your area

Go to the [Settings] > [Frequency scan] menu and set the [Frequency step size] to [1 MHz] step in order to find all the channels. In this mode, the channel search may take some time depending on the TV channels available in your area.

• Once the installation is completed, press the [OK] button and the TV will automatically exit the menu

If your TV does not find the channels after the channel search:

• Make sure that your TV has the latest software installed
• Check the incoming cable or antenna signal connection to make sure that it is properly secured to the TV's antenna input
• Connect the antenna directly to the TV. Do not use an antenna cable splitter or loop through your external device such as set-top box or DVD recorder.

• Most service providers broadcast free digital, encrypted digital and analogue channels
• When you perform [Reinstall channels], your favorite channel list will be erased. You will need to create your favorite channel list again and reorder or reposition channels in the favorite channel list to suit your preference.
• If you perform [Update digital channels], your TV will check for updates and add new channels to the end of the [All] channel list. You can also find the new channels in the [New] channel list. New channels are kept in the [New] channel list as long as you do not mark them as favorite or tune to them. Your favoirte channel list will not be influenced after the update.
