TV does not find any HD channels - this may be the problem
HD is now standard on many TV channels. If your TV does not find any HD channels, there are various reasons for this. We'll show you what you can do to fix the problems.
TV set does not find any HD channels
Many TV stations already offer their films and series in high quality. These reasons can be responsible if you do not receive any HD channels:
- Free to receive: In principle, you can only receive HD channels via a subscription with a cable provider. This does not apply to the public service broadcasters ARD, ZDF and their branch channels.
- CI + module: If you receive these transmitters but no others via cable, there is no error. You need a so-called "CI + module" and the associated card to receive it.
- HD receiver: It is easier with an HD receiver: The purchase of the receiver costs only once and there are no follow-up costs.
- Connection: If you cannot receive these transmitters via cable, check the cable for possible damage and whether it is connected correctly. Then start the channel search. The free HD channels should now be visible.
- Receiver: If you cannot receive the channels via satellite, make sure that the receiver is correctly connected and set up and that you have correctly aligned the satellite dish.
- Defect: If you have problems with HD broadcast reception as a customer of a telecommunications service provider (e.g. Unitymedia), please contact them for a troubleshooting. There may be a defect in the cable or the device.
