How to set sceptre channels manually without scanning

I am using the tv in an RV and my location changes often. a channel scan is useless unless the antenna is in the right direction. I can easily find the number of a local channel. If the tv would look for it then I could manually aim the antenna until I got a signal. Sort of like the old days.

SOURCE: PROBLEM WITH GETTING LOCAL hd CHANNELS

You need to have a set top box.

By law, as of March 1, 2007, almost all televisions should include a built-in tuner (called HDTV, digital, or ATSC tuners) that can receive high-definition programs over the air by simply connecting an antenna. Your HDTV doesn't have such a tuner, you'll need to connect an external tuner (or cable or satellite box) to watch high-definition programming. External over-the-air HDTV tuners currently cost at least $150.

SOURCE: I have a Westinghouse 26 inch TV.

I carried my Westinghouse TV to the basement. Unplugged the antenna from the digital converter box and connected it to my digital TV. I then re-scanned for channels and found channel 9. After carrying the Westinghouse TV back upstairs, I connected the original set-up and tuned to channel 9 which was now showing on the screen as no signal. From that point I moved my VHF dipoles until I had located the correct position for reception. A little labor intensive, but I was fortunate to have another antenna that was receiving channel 9.

SOURCE: Hi! I posted a few days ago about my elderly

What kind of antenna is she using? If she is using an Over The Air antenna that was supplied by Dish it would be best to buy another type of antenna.
Please post back with her antenna type and the zip code you live in so I can help you further.

SOURCE: Auto Scan doesn't pick up any channels.

In the main settings, there should be an option for AIR or CATV, air is for non-cable and CATV is for cable tv. This has to be on the correct setting before you autoscan

How do I tune my teac led/lcd digital tv model no:le32a321 without a remote

Here are some steps to tune a Teac LED/LCD digital TV without a remote:
  1. Find the TV's on-screen menu buttons on the TV itself (often located on the side or bottom of the TV)
  2. Use the arrow buttons to navigate to the channel setup or tuning menu
  3. Select "Auto Tuning" or "Channel Scan" and follow the on-screen instructions to scan for available channels
  4. If the TV has manual tuning option, select it and input the frequency, symbol rate, and other information for each channel you want to add manually.
  5. Once the tuning process is complete, the TV should display all the available channels. If you are unable to access the menu without a remote, consider using a universal remote that is compatible with your TV or obtaining a replacement remote from the manufacturer.

I have a 32inch sceptre mx322BV-SRR an when scanning channels it switches to analog after only scanning 50% of digital channels dont know if my boss hit something on remote wrong or what

The first 50% of the scan is digital. The second 50% is analog. Unfortunately, you can't turn of the analog scanning or ask for only digital. If you are using an antenna be sure that it is aimed in the location that will provide the most channels. If you are using an antenna, you may be able to scan for channels individually. You will have to turn the antenna 5degrees at a time and then scan for individual channels. If you do a wide range scan, all channels previously found will be erased.

How do I hold onto CHANNEL 19 (1-7)to access COSI,ME,LAFF, ESCAPE & 2 ESPN radio 1490 & 1590) which I had when first scanned my TV at Christmas?

Do you have an outside antenna? If so start scanning for individual channels at 000. Move 5 degrees scan for individual channels again. Move 5 degrees more. You must scan for individual channels. A wide range scan will erase everything else.
Go to Menu. Hit 7343 then mute. This should take you to a menu with a single scan option. It will take a very long time to complete this. Once you have scanned in every direction, be sure to NEVER hit the wide scan.

Can I manually choose what Air channel I want to be using?

It doesn't matter what channel number it ends up on after a scan, as long as you do the scan with it fired up it should detect it. You should then be able to edit but why bother?
I don't understand how a channel number can be described as dumber than dirt, if it does not detect it on an autoscan through ALL channels it won't work manually.
All that said you will get much better results using the video and audio outputs rather than the modulated rf feed. Look here for how to get to those outputs, your TV will need a composite and audio input for that to work.

How do I manually/automatically update the channels on my Samsung DNli DV3 TV?

Hi Hugh.

Please follow these instructions to manually/automatically update the digital (DTV) channels on the Samsung LE26R73BD.

Please use the following buttons on your Samsung remote control to navigate the on-screen menus:

- "D.MENU" - Opens/closes the on-screen menu (below the numerical key "0")
- DIRECTIONAL ARROW KEYS - To navigate up/down/left right through the on-screen menus
- "ENTER/OK" - Selects/confirms a selected option (in the centre of the arrows)

Automatic Channel Scan / Update:

1. Make sure you are in digital TV mode - Press the "TV/DTV" button on the remote to switch between analogue (ATV) and digital (DTV) modes.
2. Press the "D.MENU" key
3. Highlight "Installation" (first option) and press "OK/ENTER"
4. If asked for a PIN code, enter 0 0 0 0 using the numerical keys on the remote. If you have set a different PIN code, please enter your own code here.
5. Highlight "Select County" and press "OK/ENTER"
6. Use the LEFT/RIGHT arrows to select "UK" then press "OK/ENTER"
7. Highlight "Auto Scanning" and press "ENTER/OK"
8. Highlight "Scan Mode" and use the LEFT/RIGHT arrows to set the value to "Digital"
9. Highlight "Start Frequency" and use the LEFT/RIGHT arrows to set the value to "CH 21 . . ."
10. Highlight "End Frequency" and use the LEFT/RIGHT arrows to set the value to "CH 69 . . ."
11. Highlight "Start Frequency" again and then press "OK/ENTER" to start the channel scan.

Some of the options above will already be selected so will not need to be changed. I've provided the correct settings just in case they are incorrectly set. Note: UK Freeview stations are on channels 21 to 69 inclusive.

The scan will take a few minutes to complete and the progress will be displayed. When the channel scan is complete, the menu should close automatically and the TV will return to viewing mode. If not, press either the "D.MENU" or "EXIT" button to return to watching TV.


Manual Channel Scan / Update:

1. Make sure you are in digital TV mode - Press the "TV/DTV" button on the remote to switch between analogue (ATV) and digital (DTV) modes.
2. Press the "D.MENU" key
3. Highlight "Installation" (first option) and press "OK/ENTER"
4. If asked for a PIN code, enter 0 0 0 0 using the numerical keys on the remote. If you have set a different PIN code, please enter your own code here.
5. Highlight "Select County" and press "OK/ENTER"
6. Use the LEFT/RIGHT arrows to select "UK" then press "OK/ENTER"
7. Highlight "Manual Scanning" and press "ENTER/OK"
8. Highlight "Scan Mode" and use the LEFT/RIGHT arrows to set the value to "Digital"
9. Highlight "Channel Number" and use the LEFT/RIGHT arrows to choose which channel number you wish to scan . . .

UK Freeview stations are on channels 21 to 69 inclusive. In manual tuning mode, these need to be scanned one at a time. Please note, many of these channels are "empty". UK Freeview only uses 5 of these channels (called Multiplexes or MUX) or 6 if you have HD. I am unable to tell you which 5 channels these are as they vary according to whichever transmitter or repeater station your aerial is aligned to.

10. Press "OK/ENTER" to start the channel scan.
11. Repeat steps 9 and 10 for each additonal channel you wish to scan.

Please note: Manual scanning can cause some unexpected results - particularly if your aerial has a reception from more than one transmitter/repeater. For this reason it is better to use the automatical scan unless you have a specific reason for needing to scan manually.

Hopefully this will be all you need to update the digital channels on your TV. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please let me know.

Regards,
BElectric

Channel selection

What you need to do is take the remote, go into the menu, find channel scan and do a channel scan to find all the available stations available on this system. Make sure the TV set is in the cable mode and not antenna mode or you wont get any stations above channel 13.
