Can't scan for channels on Vizio gallevia

Re: Can't scan for channels on Vizio gallevia

I had a DTV scan problem on a Samsung whereby the DTV option just didn't show - turned out to be corruption of service menu when some caps went bad. Now a strange one - I have read somewhere some time back of a tuning scan problem - fix was to disconnect antenna and run a scan then connect antenna and run scan again - for what its worth!

Theres no tv button that cycles between the 2. The tv, choice cycles to Tv/ then component1 then component 2 then RGB then hdmi 1 then hdmi 2. Ive tried it all. It is supposed to auto scan both analog and digital and it does not.

OK... but what is the status presented on the screen with each press of the tv... NOTE: does it actually change with each depress? I am not sure there is a "visual indication" change for "TV" versus "DTV".... my guess based on the manual that was provided in the thread.

I wonder if a complete factory reset would do the job and make certain it's set up for NTSC reception.

This problem never got resolve, I had the same problem on the same model Vizio. this maybe firmware related but not 100% sure.

I had to replace the main board in this case.

this model TV may not have that factory reset as stated in this link. But I agree if there was a factory reset it will resolve this problem. this is a older model Vizio about 15 years old

I have tried to reset the tv several times. It will not reset.

maybe time too look for a replacement main board as you have now tried all the stuff we would usually advise
