bauhn tv not finding channels

Are you wondering why Bauhn TV not finding channels? Well, then, this guide is for you!

When a Bauhn TV is not finding channels, it can be due to faulty wire connections, improper antenna positioning, signal issues, or attempting a wrong scanning method.

Luckily, in this short guide, we will cover all proven ways to fix the scanning problem and get your TV channels.

To fix the Bauhn TV not finding the channels, check if the satellite or antenna connection is working and reboot the Bauhn TV. Also, you must check the signal strength, reposition the antenna and reset the TV.

Let’s head straight into the troubleshooting solutions!

How to Fix Bauhn TV Not Finding Channels?

If you’re experiencing issues with your Bauhn TV in finding channels, there are several things that you can attempt to address this problem. 

Tip: The methods in the below section are meant to be applied in consecutive order to scan and restore the channels on Bauhn TV effectively.

1. Check Antenna Connection

You must connect the antenna cable to your TV to access the free Live Channels.

Hence, the first possible reason why the channels are not being discovered is the connection and whether the wiring is correctly connected to your Bauhn TV.  So, inspecting and reconnecting the cable will help!

To check your TV’s Antenna connections:

  1. Find the Antenna port on the back of the TV.
  2. Then, unscrew the cable from the cable point.
  3. Also, inspect the cable for any visible damage.
  4. Inspect and blow into the “IN” connection port.
  5. Firmly re-screw the cable back to the TV port.

If you find any cuts, breakouts or damage on the Antenna cable, replace it with a new cable as soon as possible.

This is important because faulty cables can cause a loss of channels or signal degradation, which prevents Bauhn TV from discovering FTA or digital channels during a scan.

2. Soft-Reset Your Bauhn TV

Another possibility can be a temporal software bug or glitch with the Bauhn TV that prevents it from finding and adding channels.

In such a case, rebooting the television is an ideal fix, as this will clear out all temporary glitches and refresh its connections with the antenna or satellite.

Here’s how to reboot your Bauhn TV in easy steps:

  1. Switch off the TV using the TV’s Power button.
  2. Unplug the TV power cord from the wall outlet.
  3. Wait for 30 seconds when the TV is unplugged.
  4. After that, press the Power button to turn it ON.

This will reboot the TV and clear out all problematic glitches.

The process can take up to 5 minutes, so be patient throughout. Once the TV boots up, test if you can scan for channels.

3. Auto Scan for the Channels

When your Bauhn TV is not finding channels, one main concern is whether you’re scanning for channels in the correct way.

This is because different menu options are available in the settings that allow you to tune the channels differently.

Here’s a correct guide on how to scan channels on Bauhn TV:

  1. Hit the Menu button twice on the TV remote.
  2. In the main menu section, head to “Channel.”
  3. Locate and select the “Auto Tuning” setting.
  4. After that, set the channel option to “Default.”
  5. Then, select “Search” and use the OK button.

Your TV will automatically start tuning and adding all available free-to-air TV channels.

If the process ends but you can’t see any channels, continue troubleshooting the problem ahead…

4. Add Digital Channels Manually

Sometimes, the “Auto Tuning” option won’t work on your Bauhn TV and won’t discover any channels even when the source is well-connected. 

In such a case, it’s highly recommended to add the channels manually with a digital scan by simply knowing the frequency.

Let’s take a quick look:

  • The UHF bands in Australia range from 522.5 MHz to 816.5 MHz.
  • The VHF bands in Australia range from 177.5 MHz to 226.5 MHz.

To perform a digital manual tuning, head to the Menu → Channel → choose “DTV Manual Tuning.”

Then, select the broadcast channel frequency from the mentioned range above and tune the digital TV channels.

The process shouldn’t take long, and the channels should show.

Note: If no channels can be discovered with Auto and Digital scans, keep reading!

5. Adjust the Antenna Positioning

adjust the antenna positioning

If you cannot find channels automatically or manually, there is a high chance that the TV is not receiving enough signal strength from the antenna. 

To fix this, you must adjust the antenna’s position to get a clear line of sight with the sky to get stronger and better signals.

When this is done, scanning will surely add channels to the TV.

Consider these factors when adjusting your dish antenna:

  • The dish must have an unobstructed line of sight to the sky.
  • Install the dish on a roof or a tall pole for an elevated viewing.
  • Find an open area to put the dish for better satellite visibility. 
  • Choose a spot away from metal objects and electronic devices.
  • Ensure the dish has a reliable A/C source to confirm the operation. 

These little adjustments can significantly improve the satellite signals and allow your Bauhn TV to find free-to-air channels easily when you initiate auto-tuning.

So, when ready, go ahead and try both the manual and automatic ways to add channels.

6. Inspect the Weather Condition

Bad weather can heavily influence the antenna signal strength. Strong winds, heavy snowfall or rain can sometimes break the connection and contribute to lousy signalling.

This applies to the Baugh TV connected to antennas or satellite dishes. During those periods, your Bauhn TV might not find any channels or only find a few channels, not all of the channels.

So, check the weather conditions in your area before you do anything. 

If there is a thunderstorm, recent outages or anything concerning the weather, we recommend waiting and scanning for channels when the weather is clear.

Then, test the TV “Auto Tuning” to find channels with the steps we’ve listed earlier in the guide.

Reminder: Ensure that your antenna or dish is not covered with snow.

7. Update the Bauhn TV Software

If the Bauhn TV is still not scanning and adding channels, it’s time to update your TV software.

This can be done quickly by checking for an available update online from the settings, and if you are dealing with a software-related bug, your TV will be able to scan for channels after updating. 

Here’s how to update your Bauhn TV in easy steps:

  1. Ensure the TV is connected to the internet.
  2. Press the Menu button twice on the remote.
  3. This will launch the TV main menu settings.
  4. In the main menu section, head to Support.
  5. Locate and select “Internet Update Check.”

Your Bauhn TV will start updating. You will see the update progress on-screen, so try to remain patient until the software is up-to-date.

Then, you can perform a channel rescan and check if the channels will now start appearing.

Note: Based on your network connection, the update process may take up to 15 minutes.

8. Factory Reset Your Bauhn TV

If you’ve tried all the steps but the Bauhn TV is not scanning channels, performing a system reset on your device is strongly recommended. 

This will permanently erase all software settings, saved files and data in your TV and restore the TV to the factory default state.

This is one of the most helpful techniques, so let’s get into it.

Here are the steps to factory reset the Bauhn TV:

  1. Press the Menu button twice on the remote.
  2. This will launch the TV main menu settings.
  3. In the main menu section, head to “System.”
  4. Scroll and select “Restore Factory Default.”

Your TV will reset and restore with the factory default settings. Once the reset is complete, you must set up your device and customise all the settings again.

When you are ready after setting up your TV, run the Auto Scan for channels.

Note: If nothing works out, contact Bauhn Support or call a technician for a visit!

Quick Recap:

When Bauhn TV not finding channels, check if the satellite or antenna wiring is intact and soft reset the Bauhn TV.

If the fault persists, check the signal strength, move the antenna and factory reset the TV. Follow us for more Bauhn TV troubleshooting guides!
