If available, scan for additional channels.

Most TV's seem to prevent the user from directly tuning the real channel number... a feature the cable companies would like outlawed I suspect. Hopefully your TV allows scanning for additional channels. Some sets force you to rescan, loosing all previous channels (the cable company's preferred feature set because it make OTA reception more difficult).
