In some countries, different TV channels (broadcasters) might have the same channel number. While installing, the TV shows the list with channel number conflicts. You need to select which TV channel you want to install on a channel number with multiple TV channels.

DVB-T + DVB-C

If you can use a DVB-T antenna input but also a DVB-C input, you can set up your TV for both DVB-T and DVB-C. Install one system followed by the other with the necessary settings. Once each system is installed, you need to switch the antenna input signal on the Antenna connection on the back of the TV and set the TV in the appropriate system to view the installed channels on TV.

To select the DVB-T or DVB-C setting, see above.
