Who among us does not like to spend an evening in a blissful doze in front of the TV? We think that from time to time everyone can afford such a weakness. And to watch TV brought only positive emotions you need to meet two conditions: first, do not often include news channels, and secondly, the TV must be properly configured. We'll talk about how to set up digital and satellite channels on the TV today.
How do I set up digital channels on my TV?
So, you bought a new TV, or decided to connect to an existing television receiver cable television - digital or analog. In this case, the procedure for setting up the TV will be as follows:
- First of all, we conclude a contract with the provider who likes the cable TV service.
- After the TV cable is routed through the apartment, we plug the cable plug into the corresponding connector on the TV. The first thing we see - on the TV there was an inscription "the channels are not set up".
- We pick up the remote from the TV and press the "Menu" button on it.
- Select "Settings" in the "Menu" section.
- In the section "Tuning channels" select the sub-item "Automatic setting" and click "OK". After that, the TV will enter the scanning mode and automatically find all available channels. In this case, it should be taken into account that in the automatic tuning mode, double channels or channels with poor image quality may appear on the TV: ripples, strips, interference, with distorted sound or without sound at all. When the scanning process is completed, all low-quality channels must be disposed of manually, selecting the appropriate items in the menu.
- Patiently wait for the TV to finish the automatic tuning. If there are many channels, this process can last for a good five minutes. When the auto tuning is completed, we exit the menu by pressing the corresponding button on the remote control.
- If you do not need to configure many channels on the TV, you can use the "Manual Tuning" function. In this case, it is possible for each channel to set the required frequency, but it will take some time to configure each channel separately.
We would like to draw your attention to the fact that we gave an average algorithm for how to set up channels on the TV. The fact is that the models of TVs are now huge, the appearance of the consoles and menus can differ significantly from each other. More detailed step-by-step instructions can be found in the "Operation manual" with each TV set.
How do I set up satellite channels on my TV?
The setting of satellite channels on the TV will be slightly different from the setting of the cable channels:
- In order to enjoy all the possibilities of satellite television, it is necessary first of all to purchase a special antenna capable of catching the signal from satellites, the so-called "plate".
- Having bought a plate, we install it on the outside of the dwelling - the roof or the wall, sending it to the satellite location. In doing so, it should be remembered that over time the plate may shift due to strong wind, and its position will have to be corrected.
- We connect a special set-top box to the TV-receiver using a cable. The TV switches to monitor mode.
- We pick up the receiver from the receiver and press the "Menu" button.
- Using the prompts from the instruction, we set up satellite channels on the TV.
