Follow these steps to tune the channels on your Samsung Smart TV
To be able to tune the channels on a Samsung TV we need access the TV settings menuand the process may vary slightly depending on the model, especially if it is an older TV. However, it is a simple process that we will only have to do occasionally.
The first thing we need to do is connect the Smart TV to the home antenna. After doing this correctly, follow these steps:

- Let’s go to the section “Emission” (the icon is shaped like an antenna)
- We press on Auto tuning and then about Begin
- Finally, we select the antenna and wait for the tuning process to finish.
This is the process for performing automatic tuning, so the TV will proceed to tune all the available channels and, after finishing, it will show us the first available channel in the broadcast list.

- We access the TV settings menu and go to the “Emission“
- We press on Expert Settings and then on Manual Tuning
- Next, we can choose whether we want to search between digital or analogue channels. If we select the first option, the TV will show us all the available channels, or we can perform a manual search by entering the channel, frequency and bandwidth.
