If your tv has the digital tuner and you want to use a antenna, select the customer menu either from the remote or from the front of the tv if available then select the channel scan or channel program settings, this will set the available channels into the tv memory, if you have an older tv(no digita tunning) you will need a digital converter box(avail thru most electronics stores or elect. dept. stores for about 40 dll) you will need to program the box but most of these boxes have a good on screen detailed description on the setting up procedure.

Is there a switch or something I need to do to get my tvs to get analog channels clear when I am hooked to cable?

See if the tuner on the TV has a provision to add both analog AND digital channels as a choice. If so, then select that and then do a new channel search. Ask if the cable company uses standard or irc channel spacing and set your tuner on the TV to match.

My sansui tv is hooked up to my cable; it gets channels 4 - 13 beautifully...but nothing else. how do i program it to receive the rest of my cable channels? It's a 2004 tv.

you need to go into the menu section of your tv and find the channel auto program and let it start and finish completely {the menu should go off it self when its done} then you should be good.

TV will not get cable channels

If you have it hooked up to a digital box, it shouldn't matter if the TV is on cable or antenna mode. The only thing that matters is that the TV is on channel 3. Channels will be changed on digital box. Some newer TV's use input 1 or 2 or AUX for it to work. If I were you i would hook everything up and start playing with the channels going up and down until you get a picture.

Black borders

Check the resolution settings on your cable box, you may have to call your cable provider to find out how to get into the settings menu, there is a stretch function in the settings that should make all the lower channels auto fit your screen, also see if there's a p=size button on your remote control, try pushing that when on the channels that have sidebars.
