- Scan for Channels:
- Turn on your TV and select the correct input source (usually "TV" or "Antenna").
- Access your TV's menu and navigate to the "Channel Setup" or "Scan" option.
- Select "Auto Program," "Auto Scan," or "Channel Search" to allow your TV to find available channels. This process may take several minutes.
