Quite a few brands of TV are actually programmed to do this. A lot depends on what kind of service you have. Cable? Satellite? Antenna? In your setup program for your TV (you probably have a paper guide) you will need to select what kind of service you have and that will depend on what kind of connection you have put your service into. TVs are close to plug-n-play but not quite. Your setup program will get you there.

SOURCE: no audio on some hd channes

Try pressing the MTS button on your remote while on the channel that does not have audio and select stereo. Most likely this will be set to SAP (secondary audio programming) and there is no SAP programming on that show. This is not something that could be avoided. It was during the channel scan, it locked in the SAP audio broadcasts for some reason.

SOURCE: 27F520T RCA Truflat, won't scan for channels, auto or manual, only blue screen, no channels on tv

You need to replace the microprocessor. GoodLuck there is 52 pins to unsolder and resolder a new one. The price for the chip may bee about $35

Sharp 32 inch lcd tv won't reconginze channels when connected to antenna. Why? The screen now looks like a defragmenting on a computer screen.

You probably need to do a channel scan to find TV channels and progrma them to the TV memory. Using your remote control select Menu mutton and follow instructions for "auto channel scan"

Channels are different than my old tv!

you may be able to do a manual scan ion each channel which is similar to auto scan.
Its normal for auto scan to select random channels when scanning.
