Channel scan disabled on Seiki SE40FYM

We’re out and about and trying to watch some TV. We’ve got a Seiki SE40FYM. In the past, I was able to rotate the King Jack antenna, then select menu then channel, then scan. We’ve successfully done this in the past. Last week my grandkids were able to scan and watch local channels.

Today, after menu we can no longer scroll to lock or channel. They’re displayed on the menu but using the remote and the manual buttons on the TV only scrolls thru picture, sound, time and setup, then bypasses lock and channels.

Notice that lock and channel are greyed out. Is there a configuration clue that I’m missing? Could they have changed something while I wasn’t looking?
