Switching from TV to CATV

Hi there. Maybe your TV is not equipped for S channel reception.
Channel 73 falls into the S band; (21-69 is the normal UHF band.)
However in most cases, you must choose in wich band you scan your channels; (H, or S) I cannot imagine that this modern TV should not be equipped for S channels. Try manual channel search, where you'll probably find this possibility.

The set returned when power removed to the AIR band which only goes up to 69.

Go into customer menu and change from AIR or ANTENNA to Cable or CATV.

In the menu check to make sure set is set to "cable" band and not "air"; 69 is as high as it will go if in air band.

Select CATV and not AIR.

before you rate this information let me know what you find or if you have questions.

Need more details. Is it an hdmi hookup or a coaxial? Is your cable line hooked up directly to the TV or are you using a modem? Is it a smart TV or just regular?

Set the TV to cable tuning mode and use that channel 73. You have it set for air now so it can only tune to channel 69.

This is the chanel set up options I see on the online manual:
- CHANNEL SETUP -
ADD/DELETE(DTV)
AUTO PRESET CH(DTV)
AUTO PRESET CH(TV/DTV)
AUTO PRESET CH(CATV)
! CATV takes approx. 50min.
To set up for over the air broadcast that local channels now have in HDTV, you will select AUTO PRESET CH(DTV). You will have to disconnect cable for this option; however, the cable company will send local channels over the cable.
Bottom line, if you have cable, use it, it will most likely still deliver the best signal.
So coonect cable and use this option:
AUTO PRESET CH(CATV)
Oh, and the reason it takes so long is because there are more channels to scan with cable then with the local over the air channels.

Do you mean the channels from the internal tuner which would be channels 22 to 68, or do you mean satelite channels, as I do not know whether this set has a built in satelite receiver? Satelite broadcasters are often changing frequencies or satelites.- Programs come and go!
