Polaroid HDTV has a blue screen with no channels showing up.

What is your TV source? The Polaroid LCD-2000 only has a NTSC (analog) tuner. Most OTA stations switched to ATSC signals a few years ago and a converter box is required to watch the TV. (A few low power TV stations still broadcast in NTSC but you need to be fairly close to the transmitter to receive the channel.) If you have cable, check if they have migrated to digital cable (QAM for unencrypted channels). If that is the case, you'll need a cable box.

With a digital-to-analog OTA converter box, you can still lose station reception due to the signal strength cliff. Depending on your area, you may need an external antenna or to check the direction of the antenna. I know I have to rotate the outdoor antenna every so often. It shifts in high wind. Even if the antenna only moves 5 degrees, we will lose the signal for half of the stations.

I hope this helps.

ok,if you have a subscription to cable,you will have a cable box,you will only need to put your tv on cable and ch 3 or 4 on your tv,you dont need to search for channels,if you dont have a subscription,then you are trying to pick up over the air channels,they are called digital channels,you will need a digital tv antenna and your hdtv,you will change the settings on your tv to air or antenna,then you can search for digital channels,there are no more analog channels like we had when we are kids,they are all digital and dont need to be tuned in,if you still cant get channels please have someone help you.

It has a faulty processor. Unfortunately this TV won't be worth fixing. Put up with it for as long as you can .

You may be looking in the wrong place or have the wrong kind of antenna. With the digital conversion, TV channels shifted from the numbers they used before. In my area, the previous Channel 6 is now broadcasting in the UHF band.
It can be harder to adjust the antenna for a digital TV because it is either working well or totally off - no gradually decreasing "snow" as a clue.
It is possible your TV is not equipped to pick up digital TV. There are converters to translate digital TV to analog signals for older TV. They cost between $30 and $70 depending on features.

I have a 3 year old TV with the same problem as shema_ross.

tuner is bad. they dont make spare parts for that tv.

HDTV sets are different from the old analog sets.

If your set is showing No Signal or Weak Signal you will have to do the following.
1) Connect an Antenna or Cable to the input on the back.
2) Go into the Channel signal source menu and select either the Air/Antenna or Cable option.
3) Go into the Auto Program Scan menu and SCAN in the channels.

Now you can watch available channels.

they passed a law a couple years ago, see now you have to BUY cable... right now ur just gettin what ever the antenna on ur tv picks up. buy cable or dish or somethin and u get like 70-150 channels

I hae replaced my polaroid FLM-2632 3 times it is a crappy tv same problem every time do not buy one

it sounds like your IR board is going out, its easy to replace and is inexpensive usually about 10.00 plus tax and shipping, and very easy to install, its one of the few parts you can buy for these models outside of the 479.00 dollar control box.
