Wouldn't there be empty channels from previous input if the input's switched? Would I have to scan channels each time I switch between antenna/cable?

You need to remember to use the TV's channel 3 or 4 input from your cable when switched to that input; those will still be there with snow when you switch to the off-air (antenna) position. It's worked out quite well for me.

When I switch from ant to cable - I have to go to menu - set up - click on cable - to back to antenna - menu - set up - click on ant or air

After you switch to antenna, you need to scan for available channels. Your TV will keep them in it's system for antenna. You only have to do this the first time.

I haven't had that problem. I switch between my digital antenna/satellite feed and my Roku input, and I haven't had to rescan for channels.

As far as I know you can not scan any channels using the manual or key stroke mode. The only way you can is to reprogram the radio using Baofeng's provided software. I have done this many times and it's not that difficult once you get the hand of it.

I bought this to do just that. You do need a short coaxial cable to plug the splitter into the TV coaxial input and then plug the antenna in one and the Satellite DVR in the dual side of the splitter. I'm able to use the TV remote to switch between over the air digital channels or switch to channel 3 for the DVR. I don't get any interference from the DVR anymore and it works well for my purposes.

you have to go to settings' installation, channels and then you change antenna to cable there before start scanning. I am sorry. I am not in front of my TV right now to give you precisely the steps. Good luck.

Probably, but you would have to have it connected to a converter box as the signals are now digital - not analog anymore. Any antenna will pick the signals (analog or digital) but the old sets need the converter box.

There is a dip switch to change the channel. You can keep them on the same channel or another.

Thank you Roy and John for your responses. Both replies make sense. I wasn't aware that the cable box had multiple "active" outputs. I assumed that the unit only sent signal out of one output at a time. I'll have to run an experiment. Thanks again for the suggestions! Jack

For me no scan, just the first setup tv, I switch between cable box (regular definition) and air tv (HD).

It mostly stays on the same channel. At times, if I'm trying to change to channel 209 for example, it would only ready one of the numbers and change to channel 2 or 9 instead. After multiple times trying, it usually works. But there are times where the effort is not really worth it.

You can only changed channels on one tv...whatever you are watching is on both tv's...at least that is the way it works for me

Yes, when programing channels leave CH 16 blank. Tune to CH 16 for it to scan CH 1- 15

Yup! You just have to set them all to the same channels. (The guide book that comes along will show you)

Depending upon how talented you are with electrical wiring and signal spliters, you may only need one digital antenna. I suggest that you try ONE digital antenna connected to ONE signal spliter to which you connect TWO televisions then trying switching channels on both TVs to perceive the results. Remember, not all TV's are configured to connect directly to digital antennas. Therefore, you may not be able to directly connect the digital antenna without an intervening analog to digital converter box.

I apologize for this inconvenience. It may help to re-scan for channels by: disconnecting the antenna, scanning for channels, unplugging the TV from the electrical outlet for 1 minute, reconnecting the antenna and plugging the TV back into the outlet, then re-scanning the TV once again.

Yes. You will have to manually program it for any channels. Others have indicated that the manual is pretty sketchy with details on how to manually do that. The computer minimizes the programing down to about 3 minutes total. After programming, a computer is no longer necessary. I have zero scanner experience and I love this scanner!

how do i get channels to change or to start working so i can set up my cable box

The broadcast signals are digital so you will need a converter box (digital to analog) no matter the antenna you use. Antenna&gt;Converter Box &gt; TV
