Scanning for Over-the-Air Channels
Chapter 12
SCANNING FOR OVER-THE-AIR CHANNELS
After your over-the-air antenna is adjusted for the best reception and connected to the
receiver’s O
VER-THE-AIR ANTENNA IN connection, use these instructions to scan over-the-
air channels into the satellite receiver’s menus.
1 Verify your over-the-air antenna is installed and connected to the receiver’s OVER-THE-AIR
A
NTENNA IN.
2 On the remote control, press MENU, select System Setup, and then Local Channels. If
this is the first time you have opened the Local Channels screen, it will have no channels
listed.
3 Scan for channels by selecting Scan Locals.
4 The scan will take a few minutes to complete. When it finishes, the results will show how
many channels the scan found. If you want to stop the scan before it is completed, select
Cancel.
5 Select OK to go back to the Local Channels screen and view the list of channels.
Note: The ARROW at the bottom left means that there are more channels, off the bottom
of the screen, which you can get to with the ARROW keys if you wish to edit their names
or remove them.
6 If you want to name the over-the-air channels, continue on. If you do not want to name
your over-the-air channels, select Done. You will then be taken out of the menus back to
watching TV.
7 Select a channel and then select Edit Name to modify the way the channel name displays
on your screen. You can rename only one channel at a time.
8 Use the on-screen keyboard on the screen to select the letters of your channel name.
9 When you are finished making changes, select Done. The receiver displays a message
while it is saving the changes. Be sure not to interrupt the receiver while it is saving the
changes.
