+The HDHomeRun will attempt to automatically scan for channels the first time it is connected to power, and will occasionally do a background scan every few days, but you may still need to run an initial channel scan.
+  * **Scan for channels using the HDHomeRun app:**
+    - Select the gear icon in the top-right corner of the "Live / Guide / Recorded / Discover / Tasks" screen
+    - Select **"Channels"**
+    - Select **"Scan Channels"**
+    - Wait for the scan to complete
+  * **Scan for channels using the [[:webui|web interface]]:**
+    - In a web browser that is on the same local network as the HDHomeRun (your PC, phone, tablet, etc), go to this address: **http://hdhomerun.local/lineup.html**
+    - Click on **"Detect Channels"**
+    - You can also hide or "Favorite" channels from this page. Click the gray star next to a channel number once to make it a "Favorite", then click it again to "Blacklist" the channel from the HDHomeRun app. Click again if you wish to return a channel to the default gray star (no setting).
