Update on mine....OTA tuner works now! Well sort of.
since my original post is several pages back....long and short of it is my new tv never found channels at all, no matter what I tried. But....
After using a thumb drive on the pc, thought what the heck, I’ll plug it in the tv and do a scan since that what was causing a lot of people to lose channels. Mind you I had no channels to lose as it never would find any in the first place, and nothing usb had ever been plugged in it before. I was expecting the same ole no channels found, but it was literally the only thing I hadn’t tried. Plugged in a blank 16gb stick, scanned, and what do you know! Tuner now detects channels! Now for the sort of part...I get the same losing them as everyone else. The pause feature off and no stick plugged in, and turning on tv after being off for awhile, the scanned channels are still there and showing signal strength but no picture/sound. Off/on nor restart via menu works, only unplugging and plugging back in does, then all is normal till the next time it happens.
bottom line, if you can’t find channels and know it should have, try plugging in a thumb drive even if the tv has never had one plugged in or you don’t use the pause buffer feature, and see what happens.
