ln37a550 adding back deselected channels.

Apr 6, 2009 11:28PM PDT

This is a minor but annoying problem that has occured several times. I go through and deselect the channels that have been detected but are either empty of content or scrambled from my provider, then a period of time later (2 weeks to a month) channels reappear! they are usually in a group (ie 57-2, 57-2 etc) Any ideas?
We are very happy with the set in many other ways. The set was purchased in November.
Thanks for any suggestions you may have.

dicknbetsyneill,

I don't have any explanation on why channels would suddenly reappear. I'm assuming that no auto-tune functions are happening that would re-enable a signal.

I'll see if we've heard of that, but at this point, I haven't.

Keep me posted.

Deselected channels reappearing!

Thanks for your response. No, there is no activity that would have added back the previously disabled channels. I will try and be more observant about conditions prior to noticing the newly enabled channels.

dicknbetsyneill,

Well, if you think you have a problem, you might call the customer service line and inquire about having your unit inspected and serviced. There's nothing wrong with considering that, either. I just don't know what would trigger deleted channels to reappear.

LN46B750 adding invalid channels
Oct 21, 2009 9:43AM PDT

I am having the same problem with my LN46B750.

My software version is 1013.
I first noticed this with software version 1012.
I am using an over the air antenna.

It keeps adding channels 16-8 and 16-9. I can remove the channels, and they come back within hours or days or removal. When I go to either one of the channels, the TV displays "Mode Not Supported." I have even rescanned all of the channels, but this didn't help.

I agree, this is annoying.

Any updates to this?
