The number of channels in a collective antenna cable can reach several tens. By paying for the use of this service, the subscriber may not even be aware of their number. The auto search function built into most TVs will help you find all the available channels.
Instructions
Step 1
Be sure to connect the shared antenna cable to the TV in addition to the LF cables (either directly or through a VCR, DVD recorder, or other similar device). If necessary, make all the necessary connections, having previously de-energized all devices.
Step 2
Connect all devices back to the network. Turn on the power of each one. Press the Menu button on the remote control. In the menu that appears on the screen, select an item or tab called "Channels" or similar. Then select the sub-item, which, depending on the model of the device, may be called "Auto tuning" or "Auto search".
Step 3
The process of searching for all available channels will begin - first the meter, and then the decimeter. This procedure can take up to several minutes. If at the same time the VCR and DVD recorder were turned on, the frequencies of the modulators built into them will also be found. Thus, you will be able to watch movies on them both through the low-frequency inputs of the TV, and through its antenna socket. In the second case, the image quality will be slightly worse.
Step 4
When auto-tuning is complete, select in the Channels tab an item titled Sort, Manual Sort, or similar. The sorting method depends on the TV model and is usually done as follows. Use the vertical arrow keys to select a channel, press the middle button, then use the vertical arrow keys to raise or lower it to the desired position, and then press the middle button again.
Step 5
Tune your TV to the channel that matches the modulator frequency of your VCR or DVD recorder. Configure each of these machines in the same way - first by performing an auto search, and then by manual sorting. Then turn off all appliances.
