broadcast channels for you as follows: 

The Digital autotune display appears on screen and the search

will now be captured and stored. As this may take some time, 
a message is included in the display to inform you of the

that is stored on channel number 1 is displayed.

After all available digital and analogue channels are captured and 
stored, the Programme Sorting menu automatically appears

 

on the screen enabling you to change the order in which the analogue 
channels are stored.

        This menu only appears if the TV has captured analogue
