Start or cancel auto tune.
3 If you're scanning for Indian TV Channels select Terrestrial aerial type, and DTH Type. For example: Airtel

5 When the scan finishes, you can select Close to finish, and all of the channels discovered will save automatically

If you find the TV will not save any channels - make sure the TV is not set to Retail or Demo Mode. Retail mode will wipe the TV settings after 5 minutes and will not save any TV channels after scanning. Follow the menu path below to check:
