Press MENU, select System Setup, and then Local Channels. If this is the first time you
have opened the Local Channels screen, it will have no channels listed.

Scan for channels by selecting Scan Locals.

The scan will take a few minutes to complete. When it finishes, the results will show how
many channels the scan found.

Select OK to go back to the Local Channels screen.

Note: If the channel number says None, you have not yet assigned this channel a network
affiliation or name. The ARROW at the bottom left means that there are more channels, off
the bottom of the screen, which you can get to with the ARROW keys if you wish to edit
their names or remove them.

If you want to name the over-the-air channels, continue on. If you do not want to name
these channels, select Done. You will then be taken out of the menus and back to
watching TV.

Select a channel and then select Edit Name to modify the way the channel name displays
on your screen.

Use the virtual keyboard on the screen to select the letters of your channel name.
