You can usually manually add channels. But a scan overwrites the previous channel lineup. |

One can NOT keep the existing channels when adding new ones, NO manual add of channels allowed. A complete rescan is required every time you want to change your antenna's direction. It is like Samsung thinks people with a TV ONLY live in a city AND all the TV stations are all IN THE SAME DIRECTION from the viewer's house!! Sheesh. For me it was almost a deal breaker when I was buying the Samsung. I bought it anyway but it means that I have to use my secondary tuner (which I port in through an accessory HDMI port) when I want to watch programs that are coming from a different area, requiring the antenna to turn, unless I want to trash the existing programmed in channels on the Samsung TV and do a total rescan (I have an over the air DVR type recorder that has two tuners built in - and also allows Manual Add of channels, which is what I use as a tuner when I switch antenna directions ... I have it programed with ALL the channels that I can receive as the antenna turns) This was a HUGE oversight imo by Samsung. As a result it may be the last Samsung TV I buy. (though I like everything else about the TV) Last Edited by Midwest Skeptic on 04/22/2019 05:54 PM Midwest Skeptic |

Irredeemable Living in a dream User ID: 77565171 United States 04/22/2019 07:15 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | By using an over-the-air antenna, you are defeating some of Samsungs most popular features, such as the ability of Samsung to watch and listen to you at all times, and send those images and audio clips to a "third party". Shame on you. Quoting: Lacey Underall We are eternal... All this pain is an illusion |

I noticed it too, OP. Try and buy another antenna and get an antenna combiner, then do away with the rotor. |

Midwest Skeptic User ID: 77556714 United States 04/22/2019 09:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | select all channels in menu , the channels not added are grayed out in list. tune to that channel . click on channel list button on remote . select tools and add channel. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77436511 WRONG You can NOT have the newer type Samsung TV list all 70+ FCC allocated channels (frequencies) in it's "Channel List", it just won't do it (at least none of the several Sumsung TV's I looked at when I was buying mine would NOT allow you to do that). To get ANY over the air signals the Samsung TV REQUIRES you to SCAN for signals ... and it does NOT allow you add any other channels other than what it's scan picked up and it does NOT have a master channel (FCC frequency) list. As for Omni Directional Antennas ... well they work great "IF" you are close enough to the transmitters to NOT NEED a directional antenna. Beyond 45 miles from the transmitter antenna though they are next to useless (most don't even work well at 30 miles), which is why one has a directional antenna to begin with.

Deplorable Mary User ID: 71205112 United States 04/22/2019 10:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm not up on the newest TV's and features. My tv's are the ones just before smart tv's came out. On the one TV I have an antenna and a box that plugs into the TV, so when scanning for channels they stay there, I assume in the box. But where I am I only pick up 14 at the most so it doesn't take long. |
