How to Program Channels

How to Program Channels

To program channels into your TV, the process can vary depending on your setup:


Using a Cable or Satellite box:

If you have a cable or satellite box, you do not need to program channels on your TV. Instead, you'll use the remote control provided by your cable provider to navigate channels.


Using a Streaming Device:

If you're using a streaming device like Roku, Apple TV, or Amazon Fire Stick, you won't program channels on your TV directly. Instead, you'll install apps or channels on your streaming device and access content through them.


Using an HD Antenna:

If you're using an HD antenna, you'll need to program channels directly into your TV.
