How do I program my TV to view the new channel lineup?
Most TVs have a "Channel Search" or "Auto Program" function that will automatically scan the incoming signals and detect the available ones. It may be necessary to do a channel search before your TV will allow you to tune to a specific channel.
1. Go into the TV Menu and select “Set Up”
2. Look for and select an option similar to “Channel Search” or “Auto Program”
3. The TV will automatically begin searching to identify all available channels
4. After this auto search is completed, there should be approximately 60-70 channels available for viewing (if the TV has an internal QAM tuner). If no channels are available, it is likely the TV does not have a QAM tuner.
NOTE: If you previously watched a program on channel 4, the new channel may have moved to a new number, such as 4.2 or 4-2. Please speak to your property manager about new channel lineup cards.
NOTE: Most HD TVs can modify aspect ratios. If your picture seems stretched or has black bars around the picture after the scan, please modify the aspect ratio to fit with your desired viewing experience.
