Adding or Deleting a Channel

You can manually add or delete channels in the list of channels for the antenna or cable input, which enables you to add a new channel that becomes available or hide a channel you want to omit when browsing channels.

1.Optional: tune to the channel you want to add or delete.

2.Press Settings and go to Setup > Channel setup > Add/Remove cable or Add/Remove antenna, depending on the source (cable or antenna).

3.Press up and down to highlight the channel, then press red/CC to delete that channel or press green/PIP to add it. Each deleted channel is marked with "X" and highlighted in gray.

4.Press back to close the list.
