Sony Google TV: How to Set Up Local Channels! [Scan/Tuning]
If you’re looking to watch free over-the-air broadcasts on your Sony Google TV, setting up local channels is an easy process that just requires a quick scan through the settings menu. Whether you're using an antenna or cable connection, your Sony Google TV allows you to access local news, sports, and entertainment without a subscription. This video shows you exactly how to initiate a channel scan and troubleshoot common issues during the process.
To get started, make sure your antenna or cable is properly connected to the TV’s RF input port. Then, using your remote, press the Settings button—usually marked with a gear or cogwheel icon. This opens the settings menu on your TV screen.
Navigate to the Channels or Channels and Inputs section, depending on your specific model. From there, you’ll be prompted to choose a signal type. You can select either Digital or Analog based on the type of broadcast your setup uses. Most users in areas with digital over-the-air broadcasts should select Digital.
Once the signal type is selected, proceed to Digital Tuning and then select Auto Tuning or Channel Setup to begin the scan. If prompted, you can also choose Analog Auto Tuning if you’re using an older analog source. The TV will begin scanning for available local channels, and this may take a few minutes, so be patient.
When the scan is complete, a confirmation message will appear. If you find that not all expected channels are available, you may need to perform a Full Scan or reposition your antenna for better reception. Doing this ensures that all available channels are detected, especially if you live in a rural or heavily built-up area.
This guide helps ensure that your Sony Google TV is fully optimized to access the local content available in your area.
