How To Manually Retune And Sort Channels On A Samsung TV

On October 31, the Second Digital Dividend will end by suppressing the main DTT frequency. This forces us to retune the television channels again to store the new frequency with which DTT will work from now on to make room for the spectrum occupied by 5G. This process is more or less simple on Samsung televisions, as is ordering the channels. This time, we will show you how to retune and order channels manually on a Samsung TV in a simple way.

HOW TO RETUNE CHANNELS ON A SAMSUNG TV

Before ordering the channels on our Samsung television, we must retune them to ensure we have the correct broadcast. The process is more or less simple in the company’s smart televisions, that is, Smart TV.

First, we will press the Home key of the remote that we can identify with the logo of a house. Immediately afterward, we will click on More… in the menu below or in Configuration or Settings (depending on the Tizen OS version). Within this menu, we will go to the Emission section, specifically the Automatic Adjustment option. On some televisions, the Broadcast menu is called Channel or Channels, depending on our selected language.

Now, the system will show a pop-up window that we will have to Accept to begin returning the channels, but not before asking us about the origin of the broadcast, which in our case will be Antena. Once the tuning process is complete, the television will show the list of channels updated to the latest DTT frequency. 

HOW TO MANUALLY SORT CHANNELS ON SAMSUNG TV

With all the channels returned, the next step will be to sort the channels to return them to their original position. The way to proceed is practically identical to the one we have just described since we will have to access the Broadcast section in the television settings again. Within this menu, we will select the Channel list.

Now, the system will display a list of all the channels we have previously returned. Suppose we want to order them according to our preferences. In that case, we will have to scroll to the channel and immediately click the tools button on the remote (it is indicated by the Tools name and is located below the Menu button).

Finally, we will select the Change number option to modify the number assigned to the channel in question. The channel will automatically occupy the position of the channel we have indicated. In contrast, the channel that originally remained in that position will move to the position of the first channel.

For example, if we move Cuatro to number 4 in the channel grid and La Sexta occupies that position, the latter will go to where Cuatro was initially. The same happens with the rest of the channels, although we can edit several channels simultaneously to avoid repeating the same process. It is enough to select the channels we want to edit or check the All channels option. In this case, we will have to change the numbers one by one to not interfere between the different channels.
