As of June 2009, all television broadcast signals are now being transmitted digitally. On older analog TV sets, a digital converter box, along with an antenna, is required to process the digital signals. The converter box's settings are set up with the box's remote control. The remote control contains a channel scan button for locating and setting up channels on the converter box. You should perform a channel scan whenever you move your television's antenna to make sure you are receiving all the available channels in your area.
Instructions
1. Press the "Menu" or "Setup" button on the digital converter box's remote control. The setup menu will appear on your television's screen.
2. Use the arrow keys on the remote control to select "Scan" or "Channel Scan."
3. Press the "Enter" or "OK" button on the remote control to start the channel scan process. Once the scan process is complete, the digital converter box will exit the scan mode and return to the last channel the box was tuned to.
