Question

Samsung TV won't show channel data

Dec 25, 2014 3:43AM PST

Hello,

I recently purchased a samsung tv model Unh40h5203afxza and I have few questions regarding its' use. Currently I am unable to recieve channel information or guide information - all channels show up as 'added channel' with no information displayed. Is there a special box I must have to get this to display. I am also wondering if there is a way to get rid of some of the channel redundancies - a lot of the channels have things like dashes 66-1,2,3,4,5 etc. How can I get the tv to display channel info and get rid of these types of things? Is there an aftermarket cable box I have to purchase? TV is currently connected right to the wall.
