Only 10 out of 20 digital channels are shown, how to fix
Watching TV is an opportunity to relax and unwind, see what is happening in the country, enjoy your favorite series or TV show. What should I do if 10 out of 20 channels are missing? Is it possible to solve this problem on your own? Can. Over the past couple of years, the number of complaints from digital subscribers has increased just after the channels were updated on the set-top box and certain positions from multiplexes 1 and 2 disappeared. Therefore, the question of why 10 channels disappeared, and what to do if they previously functioned, is relevant.
Most likely, the reason for this situation is the difficulty of signal reception associated with technical work or the characteristic features of the “digital” operation. Since only from the beginning of this year a complete transition to digital has been carried out, there is a possibility that the signal is not received as well as needed. Moreover, RTRS notes that at the moment the work has not yet been stabilized, so there are difficulties in certain regions of the country. So the question of why the channels disappeared will be considered relevant for a long time until the signal supply is finally stabilized in different parts of the country.
What to do in such a situation? In order to find missing channels on digital television, you need to search for channels again or reflash the receiver.
Finding out the reason for the lack of signal
When NTV PLUS channels are not shown , the first step is to turn off the devices and then reconnect them. It is necessary to ensure the strength of the F-connectors. They may be damaged. If this is the case, then they need to be repaired so that the problem disappears.
NTV PLUS channels may not work for several reasons. The most common among them:
- changed satellite reception parameters;
- failure of the antenna, converter, access card or TV;
- cable break;
- overgrown foliage of the trees near which the plate is installed;
- incorrect antenna direction;
- Receiver settings failure.
Sometimes TV channels carry out preventive measures. In this case, the broadcast resumes the next day. The lack of signal can also be caused by unfavorable weather conditions. Snow, wind and hail greatly affect the functioning of the dish. As soon as the weather improves, the problems disappear. It is because of this that experts recommend purchasing large-diameter equipment - it is more resistant to environmental factors.
Not all of the above reasons can be eliminated by an ordinary subscriber. But if only certain TV channels work, you can fix this even without a wizard.
Setting up digital channels
Let's imagine that the channels on an LG TV are missing, how to set them up? Remember that, regardless of the manufacturer, there are only two options for getting out of this situation.
Channels disappeared on LG TV, how to configure them? Use YouTube. Quite often, users of different TV models post video instructions on their own.
Every user can set up missing channels on a Samsung TV and more. This process takes about 10 minutes. You can use automatic search or manually configure all channels yourself. The first option is considered more popular, since it minimizes subscriber intervention. In general, often after turning off analogue channels, digital ones disappear and need to be adjusted.
Automatic search
Let's look at the most popular method right away. So, you will need a remote control and the TV itself. When all digital channels have disappeared, auto-tuning requires the following manipulations:
- On the remote control we need to find a button that will take us to the “Menu”. Please note that this button may change its location on the remote control depending on the manufacturer. To simplify your search, you can use the instructions for the remote control.
- Then go to the “Settings” section, then to “Automatic settings” and select them.
- The search begins, it is important to wait until the search is completed, and do not turn off the TV at this time.
If the search is completed without interruption and the signal is normal, the subscriber should receive a minimum of 20 channels. There are situations when, after such a process, almost all TV channels may disappear, or half of the list that was there before the update may remain. Accordingly, in such a situation, an alternative solution is manual configuration.
Manual search
Please note that before you begin manually searching for channels, you will need to find out information such as:
- The broadcast frequency of channels that are interesting to you, or they were not found during the auto-tuning process.
- The speed of the channel, each one that interests you.
Having received such data, you can begin the setup procedure, here you will also need to use the remote control:
- Go to “Menu”.
- We are looking for “Manual setting”.
- Then you will need to enter in the fields all the data that you previously learned from the provider. Be sure to save them.
- Activate search.
This process will need to be completed for each channel that you want to find. It happens that it is necessary to make changes to the digital series to improve image quality. This process will take longer than auto-tuning, but you will be able to configure the channel as efficiently as possible.
When the problem persists and the TV still does not find and tune in free digital channels, there is a possibility that the cause of the problem is that the signal format does not meet the set-top box standards. It also happens that channels simply go out of television range, in other words, they close down. In this case, no settings or actions will help.
