Troubleshoot missing TV channels
Most missing-channel problems are fixed by one of these three steps.
Troubleshooting steps
Rescan your TV
Rescanning refreshes the channel list, which helps after broadcast changes or a move.
- Press Menu or Settings on your remote.
- Open Channels or Tuning.
- Choose Auto-Tune or Auto-Program to start the scan.
- Follow the on-screen steps, which may ask for your input source.
- Wait a few minutes for the scan to finish. New channels appear when it is done.
Check the cable connections
A loose or damaged cable can interrupt the signal.
- Check the connections between your TV, any box, and the wall. Make sure they are secure and undamaged.
- Try a different cable if you have one, to rule out a faulty cable.
- If channels are still missing, open a ticket below.
Update your TV software
Outdated software can cause reception problems.
- Check your TV manual or the manufacturer’s website for how to check for updates.
- If an update is available, follow the on-screen steps to install it.
