The number changes on the tv but the actual channel won't change

DONT USE the remote that came with your TV

use the buttons on the box to change the channel. did the channel change?

usually when someone only has one channel its because they are changing the tv channel not the cable box channel

think of it like this:
the TV is a monitor and should always be on the same channel (3, 4, hdmi, or whatever) its actually the box that tunes and the tv always stays on the same channel.

so if you change the tv channel you are no longer watching the output of the cable box.

USE the remote supplied by your cable provider

Hello
Check if any microswitches on its front panel ahs been strucked. Replace all the microswitches at the same time. it won't cost more.

First check with fresh batteries. that does not resolve it If a universal remote- try a different code. If original remote, press the "TV" button first to make sure it is using the right parameters. If still not resolved, the issue may reside in the IR circuit of the set.

Hi,
sounds like you need to "autoprogram" your channels. In the customer menu search for "settings" (looks like a toolbox) select that, arrow down to "channels" select that, you'll see option for "autoprogram" select that. Any channel it sees it will lock in and you shouldn't have to press numbers anymore.

The channels for a digital stations are really just "names". Thy will be the number for the old analog channel followed by a "-" and a number 1 through 4. The actually frequency can vary
from the old frequency. You can see this at;

To set up your tv, you will have to connect your signal source (Antenna or Cable) to the set.
Go into the menu and select the Signal source (Channel) to match what you connected.
Go into the menu for scan or auto program and SCAN in the channels in your area.
Now you can watch the stations on your set.

If the broadcast frequency of any station change, you can re-scan it in again. The "name" will not change so the change will be invisible to you.

Hi, it sounds like your saying that punching in 08, 09 etc. works but channel up button won`t switch from 08 to 09 correct??? If so you need to go into your tv`s menu and "autoprogram" your channels into memory, video-tek

Put the channels in memory by selecting CATV and then auto-program in set-up menu...................................T.

You may have to replace the tuner.

It's possible that V-chip is locked.. Go to the menu and see if the lock option is active... The backdoor password is 0-7-1-1 twice.. Entering it the first time, if it times out, will display "incorrect" just enter it again and it should ask you for a new password..
If that's not it let me know and we'll try a couple other things.

Possibly you're not hitting the numbers fast enough or there is a problem in the delay circuit in the microprocessor. Stargazer
