    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!

      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.

          The thread below my help.
