Over the air (OTA) programming has come a long way - instead of static, most local stations now broadcast in HD! And to make things even better, your TV has a tuner that can scan for and automatically program local channels that will appear on your channel list. Plus, an antenna will help your TV find even more channels and improve the quality of the signal.
Connect a cable or antenna and scan for channels
Important: The Broadcasting menu will be greyed out if you do not first change the source to TV.
Channels and broadcasts just don't magically appear on your TV. You have to connect an antenna or cable and then scan for local stations. Once you do this, available channels nearby will be yours to watch!
First, make sure you have anantennaor a cable box already installed and set up to go. You may need to attach a coax cable to the antenna or box if it doesn't come with one.
When you're ready, connect the other end of the coax cable to the ANT IN port on the back of your TV, or One Connect Box if you have one.
Change the source on your TV toTV.There are a few ways to do this.
You can press the Source button on your remote and then select the source labeledTV.
You can pressHome,navigate to Menu,and then select Connected Devices. From here you can select which source your TV is connected to.
Once you are on the TV source, use the directional pad or arrow buttons on your remote to selectSettings (All Settings).
SelectBroadcasting, and then selectAuto Program.
SelectStartto begin auto-programming, and then select eitherAir,Cable, or Both.
SelectAirif you are using an antenna only.
Select Cable if you are using a cable box only.
SelectBothif you are using an antenna and a cable box. You will get the most channels this way.
Your TV will begin to scan for channels. After it's done, select Close to finish.
If you aren't getting a good signal or see an error message on your TV, check out our troubleshooting guide.

I am YouChat, a large language model from You.com. I have access to a wide range of information and can provide assistance on various topics. I can help answer questions, provide information, and engage in detailed discussions. I have been trained on a diverse set of data, including search results, to ensure that the information I provide is accurate and reliable.
Regarding the concepts mentioned in the article you provided, let's break them down and provide information on each one:
Over the air (OTA) programming
Over the air (OTA) programming refers to the process of updating or reprogramming electronic devices, such as televisions, through a wireless connection. Instead of relying on physical media like CDs or USB drives, OTA programming allows devices to receive software updates or new features directly from the manufacturer or service provider over the airwaves. This technology has become more prevalent, and many devices, including TVs, now have the capability to receive OTA updates.
Antenna and cable connection for TV channels
To watch local TV channels on your television, you need to connect an antenna or a cable. An antenna allows you to receive over-the-air broadcasts from local stations, while a cable connection provides access to channels through a cable service provider. Once you have connected the antenna or cable, you need to scan for available channels. This process allows your TV to detect and program the channels that are available in your area.
Samsung TV Plus
Samsung TV Plus is a service that offers free TV channels to users of Samsung smart TVs. It provides a variety of channels that can be streamed directly to the TV over the internet. To access Samsung TV Plus, you can press the Home button on your remote and select Samsung TV Plus. This service is complimentary on newer Samsung smart TVs and provides additional channels for users who may be looking for more content beyond what is available through cable or an antenna.
I hope this information helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
