How to reset channels on Xiaomi TV
Since you are wondering how to reset the Xiaomi TV , I think it is right to start from the procedure to restore the classic TV channels , as you could trivially have some problems in receiving the signal from some broadcaster.
One of the main contexts in which a non-expert person might think that there is some important headache related to the TV is in fact the one in which some TV channels are no longer visible . In reality, this is a normal situation .
In fact, sometimes broadcasters have to make changes that require re-tuning the channels to be able to return to viewing the TV channels. I won’t go into too much technicality here, but know that the procedure for solving this type of situation is extremely simple to implement.
So whether you are wondering, for example, how to reset a 32-inch Xiaomi TV or how to reset a 43-inch Xiaomi TV , just pick up the TV remote control and press the circle button (located near the Back button) .
This will bring up the TV menu on the screen . Then move with the central controls above the gear icon , which you can see at the top right, then press the central confirmation button on the remote control.
At this point, a list of options available to you will appear on the right. Then go to the TV card , then pressing on the Scan channels item . You will then be asked how you want to proceed, whether via Antenna , Cable , Satellite or via Advanced Options (if you are proceeding for the classic digital terrestrial, you can usually safely select the Antenna option).
The automatic channel tuning procedure will then start . You just have to wait for the progress bar that appears on the screen to reach 100% . At the end of the procedure, an LCN indication may appear regarding any conflicting groups . In this case, generally you just need to press the Confirm option for all the proposed channels.
Great, now you have successfully completed the TV channel reset procedure . So all you have to do is close any list on the right by pressing the Back button on the remote control twice (the one marked with the left arrow icon).
Then, select the Input icon at the top right (marked by the window with the arrow pointing right) and press the TV option to go back to watching the classic digital terrestrial channels . You will see that, if this was simply the problem, now you can go back to using the TV without too many problems.
In any case, since there are several Xiaomi TV models out there , I want to let you know that you may actually experience slight changes in terms of procedures compared to what is indicated here.
In reality you shouldn’t have too many problems understanding how to proceed, since everything is usually very similar, but in case you need more information I suggest you refer to my tutorial on how to tune channels , in which I have further explored how it works. usually in these cases.
How to reset the password of the Xiaomi TV
Net of the classic channel tuning procedure , another context in which you may want to perform a reset related to the Xiaomi TV is related to the password setting .
In fact, if you have set a security password related to parental controls , perhaps to block some content, you may actually want to go back to the initial situation , i.e. when there were no such restrictions.
In this case, after having picked up the remote control , just press the circle button , then selecting the gear icon , present at the top right. Next, go to the Preferences section of the device , then selecting the Parental Control option .
At this point you will be asked to enter the password for this type of functionality. Unfortunately I can’t help you that much if you don’t remember it, but you may still want to try predefined combinations like 1111 or 0000 .
Once you have logged in to the Parental Control section, you just need to take advantage of the Change password option , then typing the new password , to reset it. For the rest, if you want to eliminate the individual limitations while keeping the password, just take advantage of the options Block channels , Program restrictions and Block input sources , unlocking what is of interest to you, to solve.
In any case, if you really can’t find the password and fix the situation in this way, I advise you to continue reading the guide, as you may find the information I am about to give you useful.
How to reset Xiaomi TV to factory settings
Going beyond the aforementioned problems relating to TV channels and the security password , in some contexts it may actually be useful to perform a total reset , or to restore the Xiaomi TV to factory settings .
Put simply, you can reset everything by going back to using your TV as if it were the first time you turned it on. If you can no longer get a smart application to work, there are many channels that no longer look good or in general the indications I have given you previously have not helped you, you may want to proceed in this way.
So take the TV remote control in your hand , press the circle button , select the Settings icon at the top right, go to the Device Preferences section , scroll down and select the Reset item .
At this point, after learning that clearly this operation involves deleting all data from internal memory, including any Google accounts , system and app data and settings , as well as downloaded apps (in simple terms, it will be necessary in then set up the TV again from scratch , as you did the first time you bought it), you just have to confirm your intention by selecting the Reset box .
Then the TV reset wizard will start : it is not anything complex, since you just need to follow the instructions that appear on the screen to return to the initial configuration screen of the Xiaomi TV , then being able to configure it from scratch just like you already have. done in the past (you may want to retrieve the instruction manual for your specific model if you no longer remember how you did it).
For the rest, although in most cases it is not necessary, I want to dwell for a moment on the hard reset procedure , or forced reset , of the Xiaomi TV. In fact, the latter could possibly be useful in those contexts in which all the procedures indicated above did not allow you to resolve the issue.
In this case, however, everything becomes a little more complex, as it also depends on the model of TV in your possession, but generally the procedure to perform a reset in this way consists of disconnecting the TV from the power outlet and waiting a few seconds . .
Then, perhaps while having someone else connect the TV to the power socket , press and hold , depending on the model of remote control at your disposal, the Home button + the button with the three horizontal lines or the Back button + the central button (the left arrow key and button to confirm).
At this point, if everything has been done correctly, the Recovery menu will appear on the screen . So you just have to select the Wipe data / factory reset option first and then the Yes option to complete the hard reset procedure, which obviously, as mentioned above, involves deleting all data . For the rest, just select the Reboot system now option : the TV will turn on again and you can then carry out the classic initial configuration to go back to using it.
In case of problems
How do you say? Have you followed all the instructions related to the previous chapters of the guide , but have not managed to get the TV back to work as expected in spite of everything? In this case, there may be a more complex problem involved than the usual cases that I have explored earlier.
The advice I can give you is, therefore, to be followed in your specific case by experts linked directly to Xiaomi , so as to resolve the situation. To get assistance, connect to the official Xiaomi website and take a look at the options available to you.
In this regard, in the Contact Us section , present at the bottom left, you can find the links to start a chat and the assistance telephone number (active from 09:00 to 20:00 from Monday to Friday and from 09:00 to 18:00 on Saturday).
Alternatively, you may want to take a look at the After-Sales Service and Local Repair Center boxes , then follow the instructions that appear on the screen to get assistance (possibly also by going to the repair center closest to where you are).
