Samsung Plasmas - Can Analogue Channels Be Permanently Deleted?

[o{O}o]

I have a Samsung 50" Full HD plasma - a "P9".

After having it for almost a year, there is only One main annoyance.

When pressing a number on the remote sometimes an analogue channel shows and sometimes a digital channel shows.

i.e. press 1 and either ABC1 analogue shows or 10 Digital shows.

I have deleted the analogue channels from the channel list but they still show.

Anyone know a way to make only the digital channels show ?

Best bet IMO is to read the manual. It details how to manage channels etc. and deleteing them is quite straight forward apparently.

Viewing All Channels

Show all currently available channels.

To use the Channel List function, first run Auto Program.

1 Press the MENU button to display the menu.

2 Press the ▲ or ▼ button to select Channel, then press the ENTER/OK button.

3 Press the ▲ or ▼ button to select Channel List, then press the ENTER/OK button.

4 Press the ◄ button to select Added Channels.

5 Press the ▲ or ▼ button to select All Channels, then press the ENTER/OK button. Shows all currently available channels.

6 Press the ▲ or ▼ button to select a channel to view, then press the ENTER/OK button.

You can watch the selected channel.

➢ You can press Number buttons on Remote control for direct channel access,press the same Number button again to switch between digital channel and ATV channel.

You can select these options simply by pressing the CH LIST button on the remote control.

Using the Colour buttons on the Remote with the Channel List

 Green (Zoom): Enlarges or shrinks a channel number.

 Yellow (Select): Selects multiple channel lists.

 Blue (Option): Displays the Add (or Delete), Add Favourite (or Delete Favourite), Timer Viewing, and Channel Name Edit menus.

➢ A gray-coloured channel refers to a deleted channel. The Add menu only appears for deleted channels.

➢ If you select multiple channel include “favourite channels”,“delete channel etc. channels”and other channels, you can choose “Add to Favourite or Delete from Favourite or Add or Deselect All”etc.

Adding and Erasing Channels

You can add or delete a channel to display the channels you want.

1 Press the MENU button to display the menu.

It only reads as "quite straight forward"

The instructions matched my menu navigation which I had done before

Menu > Channel > Channel List > Added Channels > All Channels > Select channel > Blue Options button > Choose Delete.

Delete only greys it out. It is still stored as a channel if you press the number buttons.

It is deleted from the channel up and down button control only.

Ahh. Yes I can see how some boffin figured that might be a good way to go. Any chance there's an option to manually scan channels? Then you could erase them all and only tune in the frequencies you want?
