Hi Would it be possible to point me in the right direction to tune my television for some reason it has removed some of the channels and I have mislaid my book.

That could be because the antenna is pointing in the wrong direction, or it's just not getting enough signal where it is in your home.

Have a look at neighbours antennae. See the direction they are pointing. Point yours in the same direction too.

Other causes: you are trying to tune the analog tuner rather than the digital tuner.

There's not a lot to this antenna; nor much in the way of knowledge required to set it up. Connect a length of coax cable from the F type screw connector on the antenna. Connect the other end to your TVs antenna input. Plug in the power adapter. Switch on the antenna and set the gain adjuster to the half way position between min and max.

Now look at your neighbours properties. Which way are all their antenna pointing? Point yours in the same direction.

If you know what channel on the tuning scale the local TV stations use for broadcast then tune your TV manually. Then fine tune gain and direction of the antenna for best reception. If you don't know the tuning channel it's a bit more pot luck. Let the TV do an auto tuning and hope you have not too much or not too little gain and the antenna pointing in the right direction.

you could try returning in all of your channels from the main menu the tv can do this automatically but you need to select the procedure
1. click on the home button
2. scroll sideways till you reach settings
3. in settings scroll down or up and click on digital set-up (centre button of your scroll control)
4.then scroll down to, and click on digital auto tuning (centre button of your scroll control) this will activate automatic channel tuning the tv will do the rest and will wipe out old settings and retune in all channels

check that your aerial is pointing in the right direction or use two aerials with a connection box specially made for this so that you increase the coverage

If you have no sound on one channel only, possibly the tuning memory data for that channel has been corrupted eg possible lightning spike whilst watching that channel?. Two possible easy solutions to try :- 1/ Unplug the set FROM THE WALL say when you go to bed overnight. This may clear the glitch.
2/ Select menu on the remotecontrol, find and select setup and from there, select the the auto tuning menu. This will take several minutes to retune all the stations in your area and will clear any possible data corruption. If this does not work you should contact a repairer.

Hello,
This will require you opening the back cover of the television to test some component with the use of an ohmmeter.
This may be a slight drift - like someone is messing with the fine tuning
or such a substantial change in tuning frequency that the channels go by
as though you are surfing.

Possible causes depend on tuner type:

1. Quartz tuner (10 button direct access digital synthesizer) - For a
slight drift, a component is probably changing value, possibly the
crystal in the reference oscillator. For gross changes - flipping
through channels - it is more likely to be a digital control problem -
the microcontroller is misdirecting the synthesizer to change frequency.

2. Varactor tuner (buttons but not direct channel access) - If only a
single pushbutton selection is the problem, the the varactor tuning diode
for that button is probably changing capacitance. If all channels in
a band (Vl, Vh, U) are having a problem, it is more likely to be a
drifting D/A or faulty AFT (Automatic Fine Tuning) circuit or power supply.

3. Turret or switch tuner (Knobs) - A component like a capacitor is changing
value.

You will have to get in there with a heat gun or cold spray and track it down
the old fashioned way. At least, the problem is almost certainly localized
to the tuner box (and possibly the controller if applicable).

As noted, gradual slight changes in tuning are likely due to frequency
determining components drifting.

Uncontrolled channel surfing is probably a logic problem. For the
quartz tuner, this could still be marginal connections causing the
microprocessor to misdirect the synthesizer to change channels.

For the latter case, particularly, the cause may still be bad connections
resulting in loss of channel memory and/or erratic behavior.
Take care...

Maybe you have to tell it to look for digital channels, not analog.

Go into the setting menu on the tv and go to channel setup,then select add channel.
