Manually Edit Channels on C450?
Posted: Sun Mar 18, 2012 5:10 am
TV: LN26C450
Software Version: T-MSX5AUSC-2004.1
Firmware Current Version: 2010/07/08_002004
I've been searching on and off for weeks now but haven't found a solution. You guys seem to have a good handle on Samsung TVs so I hope you can help.
I can't seem to export channels. I tried going into hotel mode and use the "Clone TV to USB" option with a USB drive connected (FAT32) and I get a message saying it failed to retrieve from USB or something like that.
This is what I'm trying to do....
I'm having a hard time scanning for all the OTA channels in my area. To get some of them requires me to adjust my antenna but it's hard to do while scanning and I wind up missing channels if moving during the scan.
I know on some other models there are utilities to export the channel list then you can manually edit it. Is this possible on this model?
I'd like to be able to manually add all the channels I know I can receive instead of scanning for them. That way I can tune into the channel and work out antenna positon as needed without having to rescan.
I haven't found a position that catches all the channels, even with holding the antenna out a window. I've also tried 3 different antennas. Two DIY and one store bought.
The TV also seems to delete channels it can't catch. So for example if it finds channel X-1 if tuning into that channel and it has no signal it disappears from the channel list.
I'm hoping I can do this without hacking the firmware on my tv and risking bricking it if that's possible.
