How do I get antenna channels on my Samsung TV?

Answered by Antonio Sutton

To get antenna channels on your Samsung TV, you can follow these step-by-step instructions:

1. Start by pressing the “Menu” button on your TV remote. This will bring up the main menu on your TV screen.

2. Using the arrow buttons on your remote, navigate to the “Channel” option in the menu. This option may be located under different headings, such as “Setup” or “Settings,” depending on your TV model.

3. Once you have selected the “Channel” option, you will see a list of sub-options. Look for an option called “Auto Program” or “Auto Tune” and select it. This is the function that will scan for available channels.

4. Your TV may prompt you to choose between “Air” or “Cable” for the program source. Select “Air” if you are using an antenna to receive channels. If you have a cable connection, choose “Cable.” This selection determines the type of channels your TV will search for during the auto program.

5. After selecting the program source, your TV will begin scanning for available channels. This process may take a few minutes, so be patient. Your TV will display a progress bar or indicate the number of channels found during the scan.

6. Once the auto program is complete, your TV will display a list of the found channels. You can then use your remote’s arrow buttons to navigate through the channels and select the one you want to watch.

It’s worth noting that the exact steps and menu options may vary slightly depending on your specific Samsung TV model. However, the general process of accessing the menu, navigating to the channel settings, and performing an auto program should be similar across most models.

In my personal experience, I have found these steps to be effective in setting up antenna channels on various Samsung non-smart TV models. However, if you encounter any difficulties or have additional questions, referring to the user manual that came with your TV or contacting Samsung customer support can provide further assistance.
