The most common causes include:
- improperly selected decimeter antenna;
- inaccurate or opposite to the location of the station antenna direction;
- disabled or faulty receiver;
- Poor reception signal strength for channel search;
- outdated version of firmware - to solve this problem, you need to download a new version from the website of your TV, or consult a professional.
Before starting the adjustment and search, we recommend checking the readiness of the device.
REFERENCE. In order to find as many channels as possible, do not indicate your country in the corresponding box, but put a dash.
Check the frequency level and adjust it manually if necessary. Check the software for relevance, and if it is out of date, update it. Do not be afraid to experiment with the settings, because in case of failure you can reset them by reinstalling the factory settings.
If there are no problems on any of the items, then most likely, further adjustment will be successful.
How to find digital channels
So, you have checked everything and are ready to start the search. For this purpose, they use a variety of algorithms that differ from each other depending on the brand of the TV. Consider all the options for the most common models.
If you have an LG brand device, start with the Menu button on the remote. Among the items that appear on the screen, select "Options." After we select the country. As mentioned earlier, it is better to leave a pass at this place, but if your TV model does not provide for this, we recommend choosing Germany or Finland.
Return to the main menu again and go along the path “Settings” - “Auto Search” - “Cable”.
A window will appear in which you should click the "Settings" button and check the frequency, the most optimal option is 314000 kHz. If a different number is specified, you can adjust it manually. In addition, the following properties are set:
- Coming soon characters: 6875 kS / s
- Modulation: 256QAM
- Network ID: Auto
Next, select "Search", and if you did everything correctly, all channels will be found.
According to the initial factory parameters, in the future they will be updated in auto mode, that is, already found ones will be reset, starting the search again. If this option is inconvenient for you, disable it in the “Digital cable setup” tab.
Setting up Philips TVs, as in the previous version, starts with the Menu button. Select "Configuration". Follow the path “Installation” - “Channel Setup” - “Automatic. installation ”-“ Start ”-“ Reinstallation of channels ”-“ Country ”. Select “Cable” as the connection method. Select the "Settings" section.
Set the following parameters:
- Transmission Speed: 6.875
- Baud Rate Mode: 314.00
The last item is a click on the "Start" button.
And finally, a sequence of steps to adjust the Samsung devices. Follow the path: "Menu" - "Channel" - "Antenna" - "Cable" - "Country" - "Other". Enter 0000 in the PIN code field (unless you have previously specified another).
IMPORTANT! If the result is still not there and the TV still does not find the digital channels, check that the cable is working by connecting it to another device.
