The TV may need to scan for channels before it can display
programs and their associated information. A channel scan is
required for free over-the-air channels (using an antenna) and
cable channels from an out-of-the-wall connection (without a
cable box). Moving the TV to an area with different channels
requires the TV to scan for channels again
