first you should proably get into the menu screen, and go to setup and have it find channels
The person before you may have only goten those channels and the tv hasnt found the rest of them till you do that. assuming you subcribed to them thru your cable company. |

If it is only 10 years old, it should probably be capable of pulling in the higher channels. But with an older Zenith, I really can't be sure. Does it have an electronic tuner or one of those old mechanical, rotary jobs? |

If it has a CATV selector switch on the back of the TV near the antenna, make sure it's in the CATV mode. If there is not one back there, check if there is one inside the front panel. If there is not one there, go to the menu and look for channel setup and make sure it is not set to broadcast, select Cable before doing a channel scan. Since you didn't include a model number I'm giving you the three known options on how to correct this issue. |
