Troubleshooting Your Cable TV Connection

If you are having difficulty connecting, rescan for the latest channels.  Most TVs have a "Channel Search" or "Auto Program" function.  That should launch the scan for the channels available at SMU. Make sure the scan feature is set to scan for "Cable" or "Digital" channels instead of "Air" or "Analog." Consult your TV's manual for details.

  1. Go into the TV Menu and select Set Up
  2. Look for an option similar to "Channel Search" or "Auto Program" and select it
  3. Once the search is complete, there will be approximately 60 channels available for viewing.
