Using the Channel Menu

If you skipped the Setup Wizard, or if the initial setup did not find all the available channels, use the Channel menu to automatically scan and find the channels. The scan continues until every channel is either found or confirmed as having no signal.

You can also use this menu to edit the program channel list to skip a channel when you use the Channel buttons on the remote control or the TV.
