Vizio m422i-b1 no channels

[Malachi]

Just picked this tv up for free. All hdmi inputs work but the tv does not find any channels when scanning with cable. I haven't tried with an arial antenna.

Is this a main board issue? EEPROM?
I searched on here but didn't find anything.

Plug a 36" length of 18-20 ga wire in the antenna jack and scan for local channels and bend it vertically. You have to select antenna in the setup (somewhere). If it doesn't find any, I would suspect the tuner itself.

I have antenna I can try. Just have to dig it out.

Just tried the antenna. It picks up local channels. This is strange.

Decided to try to scan for cable channels for the third time and it tuned them in.
