One common way to watch Digital TV broadcasts is by using a Set-Top Box (STB) with an older analog television. However, a frequent issue after setting up a Set-Top Box is the disappearance of digital TV channels.
Fortunately, one of the easiest solutions to this problem is to rescan or re-tune your Set-Top Box. This process helps restore any digital TV channels that may have gone missing.
Before you begin rescanning, it’s crucial to ensure your Set-Top Box is correctly installed and connected to your analog TV.
For guidance on the initial setup, you can refer to articles like “Cara Memasang STB dan Mencari Siaran Digital di TV Biasa” which details how to properly install your STB and find digital broadcasts on a regular TV.
If your Set-Top Box is already properly installed, follow these steps to scan for digital TV channels:
Steps to Scan Digital TV Channels on Your Set-Top Box:
- Access the Settings Menu: Using your STB remote control, navigate to and open the “Settings” menu.
- Find Channel or Broadcasting Settings: Within the settings menu, look for options related to “Channel,” “Broadcasting,” or “Installation.” The exact wording may vary depending on your STB brand.
- Select “Auto Scan” or “Auto Tuning”: Choose the option labeled “Auto Scan,” “Auto Tuning,” “Channel Search,” or “Automatic Search.” This initiates the channel scanning process.
- Wait for the Scan to Complete: Allow the Set-Top Box to complete the scanning process. This may take a few minutes, and the progress is usually displayed as a percentage reaching 100%.
- Channel List Appears: Once the scan is finished, a list of available digital TV channels should be displayed on your screen. You can now browse through these channels.
The process of scanning for channels on a Set-Top Box is generally very similar to scanning on a Digital TV. Some Set-Top Box models might prompt you to enter a postal code or zip code relevant to your location during the scan.
For information on finding and using your postal code for digital TV setup, you can consult resources like “3 Cara Cek Kode Pos TV Digital dan Memasukkanya di Set Top Box”.
In some cases, you may also be asked to specify the tuner mode (antenna or cable) and the digital channel type (terrestrial or cable). If rescanning doesn’t restore your channels, you can explore other troubleshooting steps outlined in articles such as “4 Cara Mengembalikan Siaran TV Digital yang Hilang dengan Mudah”.
That concludes the guide on how to scan channels on your Set-Top Box. Enjoy watching Digital TV!
