Hi how to installation philips tv on cable and antenna

you need antenna for the tv
if the tv is digital than in needs digital type antenna version
if you have analog tv than piece of wire, metal coat hanger, analog antenna version

analog versions:
you can pick up cheap at swap meets, yard sales, goodwill, where every they sale tvs, radio shack,walmart, target, homedepot, online,amazon.com, ebay, friend. and so on.

digital versions:
where every they sale tv, radio shack, online, amizon.com.

some digital and analog unit comes with a built in amplify this is very nice to have if you live in a big city or out in the country help with receiving amplified signal to the antenna receiver unit.

If the antenna has a cable like cable wire--hook it direct to the cable fitting on the set.

If the antenna uses the flat type wire (called 300 ohm twin wire) use an adapter that will connect to the end and have screws for the flat wires and a cable slide on the other side to slide onto the cable fitting on the rear of the TV

Please try the following procedure, press menu botton, go to Install option, select Tuner mode, with left and right cursor bottons select Antenna and OK botton, you could also select Auto mode.

If you are using a Cable Box, then select the Cable Box option in the TV. If you have connected the Antenna directly to the TV, then select the Antenna option in the TV under Menu options. Try performing the Auto program.......If using a Cable Box, then no need to perform the Auto program. If the issue persists, try resetting the TV to the factory settings and check if it helps.

We're still hanging on by our toenails waiting for a helpful response from FixYa. We did contact Philips tech support and they basically said that we need a new TV...so they're sending one to replace this one, and we are sending back the "old" one (that we just bought in December '08).

You will have to run the Autoprogram menu function from the menu. Here are the steps

Press the MENU button on the remote control.
Use the cursor down to select Installation in the Settings menu.
Use the cursor right to enter the Installation menu.
Select Autoprogram in the Installation menu.
Use the cursor right to enter the Autoprogram menu.
Press the OK button.
Select Cable or Antenna in the Installation mode.
When Antenna is selected, the TV will detect antenna signals and will search for antenna TV (NTSC and ATSC) channels available in your local area.
When Cable is selected, the TV will detect cable company supplied signals and will search for cable TV (NTSC,ATSC, QAM modulated) channels available in your area.
Make sure that registration with your cable TV provider and connection of equipment are completed.
Press the green button “Next” on the remote control.
Press the green button “Start” to start autoprogramming.
The menu screen disappears and the progress of autoprogramming is displayed.The progress bar indicates the number of analog and digital TV channels found. (Also digital channels via CableCARD are being programmed.
When Autoprogramming is complete, a message appears confirming the completion and the TV switches to the first installed TV channel.

Hi, This tv has an NSTC tuner which is analog. If you subscribe to cable or satellite it will work just fine without you having to do anything for the upcoming change. However if you are using your own outside antenna or rabbit ears you will need a converter. Hope this helps.

Should be done with your remote. Go to menu and then setup. It should have a selection for cable or antenna.

Hi peter9,

It is possible channel bad reception is come from the signal of the tv channel not on your antenna. Just forget channel 10.

Best regards,

Philip
