TV channel search does not work

Technologies and different types of channel search

Anyone who has difficulties with the TV channel search must first be prepared for the technology with which the channel search should be carried out. There are the following options:

• Channel search via DVB-T has the most sources of error. You should distinguish whether this search is carried out using an external receiver or a built-in receiver in your television.
• Above satellite it is similar. Here the search can be carried out via an external or an internal receiver. You should also check the orientation of the satellite dish.
• By cable there should actually be no problems with the station search, since the channels available there are permanently fed into the cable network and the search is automated via the receiver.
• If you use IP TV, the sources of error could be the DSL speed or the wrong connection settings between router and receiver.

Troubleshooting TV channel search

• Align the antenna in different directions for DVB-T reception. It is possible that you are currently in a dead zone. Here it is the same principle as with the earlier indoor antenna and it is the most vulnerable method when searching for TV channels.
• With satellite reception, it is possible that your dish has shifted only a few centimeters. Adjust the bowl and see if an image reappears. Above all, precision is required here.
• If possible, do without one with the IP TV WIRELESS INTERNET ACCESSConnection, as this is associated with signal and loss of quality. If you really want a wireless connection, use the Devolo solution, in which the signal is transmitted through the power grid.
