Receiver cannot find any transmitters - it may be because of this

Some TVs require an additional receiver to receive a signal. However, if the broadcaster does not find any channels, access to the TV program is initially denied. Therefore, in this practical tip, find out how you can fix the problem.

You can do this if the receiver cannot find any stations

This error can often be remedied in just a few simple steps:

• First, make sure that an appropriate antenna is connected to the receiver and that the cables are properly seated.
• It can often help if you adjust the orientation of the indoor antenna.
• Do not place any electrical objects near the antenna. For example, microwaves can affect reception quality.
• If the sky is very cloudy, such as a thunderstorm, the signal can also be blocked. Then try the channel search again after a few hours.
• If you are using a satellite receiver, you should make sure that the satellite dish is correctly aligned and connected to the receiver.
• Again, you should run the search several times, as external influences could be to blame.
• If these tips are unsuccessful, you can try resetting the receiver to the factory settings.
• You can find this function on many devices in the settings under "Info".
• Alternatively, if available, you can connect another antenna or dish to the receiver to limit the source of the error.
• If a transmitter is still not found afterwards, the receiver may be defective. In this case you should contact the manufacturer.
