I was an army soldier so i know you can do this if you do not have a set of rabbit ears you can use a five foot small gauge speaker wire and place it over tv as an antenna take one end peel off some strands so that you can insert it in the center hole of connector without the wire touching the metal ring around (75 ohm),put tv to scan hopefully she can pick up digital channels or local once scan is complete you can then remove the wire once tv detected the channel you only need 1 detected.let me know.
Tries unplug replug the tv like an hour later see if the tv reset it self back to factory mode setting it should stop this.Make sure tv is not on Cable,try Antenna setup just don't push for the scan function or yes answer.Tries used it with a HDMI cable for setup for the PS3 and used input like 1,2,3 so on this dosen't link to any airing tv stations functions.

what cable company do you have because you should have a cable box because only a cable box can scramble the frequency so you can get the channel you subscribe for

I have experienced exactly the same issue on two Westinghouse sets. Try turning the set off when it reaches 83%. When I turn mine off and back on, it has saved the channels -- at least the ones it had found before it got hung up.

Excuse me but the other answers are written by people who have not actually confronted the problem and are just guessing. They are all wrong. Here's the answer:
If your TV is expecting a TV input, it will keep searching for at least one TV channel on cable or antenna. If you only have a DVD player plugged in, for example, or if your cable is hooked up wrong, so there's no video signal on it, the TV will keep searching forever. (This is an unforgivable design flaw, by the way. But then, it was a cheap TV, wasn't it?)
To solve the problem, look at your remote control. You will find input buttons. Mine are small, along the top, right under the "power" button. Try pressing "video" for example, instead of TV. That stops the TV from hunting for TV channels.
Have a merry Christmas. Enjoy your new TV. Watch it in moderation and eat fruit and vegetables every day.
SOURCE: no pic please run channel auto scan
It means it is not detecting signal etc.
If you had a power outage unplug the set for a short period of time and plug it back----if using a box for signal do the same.
This may allow set or box to reboot and function again.
Also you can try to hook a DVD etc to a rear audio/video input to see if that works.
SOURCE: can't get rid of "Please Run Channel Auto Scan" stays on tv screen
for some reason it is not seeing you cable signal. you will need to make sure you have it set up for cable and not air. check your input options, like tv/av/hdmi/ ect hope this helps
