Why does the rst channel search take a long time?If you have both analog and digital channels, the TV is looking for all available channels in the Channel List. If you do have digital channels, the TV is also searching for scrambled channels, non-scrambled channels, and each sub-channel of that digital channel.Is Netix free?No, you must create a Netix user account and subscribe to Netix service.I am having difculty accessing Netix or other subscription based services.Please contact the service provider directly to resolve content related issues.I forget my secure access code.Please refter to the user manual for your router.Chapter 3 Other Information
