This setting consists of a channel search on your THOMSON 32HC3101 so that these are received by your TV.

If you have an adapter, connect to the screen of your adapter as seen above, and then follow the steps below.
If you do not have one, use the remote control of your THOMSON 32HC3101.
Retrieve channel’s canal number
To start the operation, you must have the canal number of the channel you wish to search manually on your THOMSON 32HC3101.
To do this, use the “My DTT coverage” search engine on the Ofcom official website.
Be careful, this is not the number you want to enter on the remote control to watch the channel but a canal number between 21 and 60 which indicates the frequency on which this channel is broadcast in your area.
You may then be able to watch it on your THOMSON 32HC3101.
Start manual channel search on THOMSON 32HC3101
Start by pressing “Menu” and go to “Configuration”.
It can also be called “Main Menu”, “System Menu”, “Tool Menu”, “Setting Menu”, or “System Settings”.
Then, select the “manual search” option and enter the canal number of the desired channel. Select “Ok” or “confirm”, or “exit”.
The hardest is done, you can now go check the presence of the channel on your THOMSON 32HC3101!
