If you were unable to tune in digital before the switchover then most likely your digital reception is poor. Unlike analog signals you will not see anything on screen until it can lock in. You may have to repoint your TV antenna or check what size of antenna you need at antennaweb.org

    Try resetting the TV by unplugging it for approximately 2 minutes. Then try and go through the menu system again. If that fails there is a problem with the tuner or the main board in the TV.

I have 2panosonc vcrs with digital tuners can I time record programs after Spectrum cable service goe digital this month?

If the tuners are really able to receive a digital signal you will have no problems. A digital vcr is a fairly rare item, around here at least because before the signal went digital no one needed a digital vcr and the HDD recorders were available much cheaper than a digital vcr after the changeover.
A digital vcr was and still is around four times the price of the analogue type. After the switchover there were a few dual standard machines around and quite a few people who mistakenly believed they owned digital machines.

Poor picture quality on alba LCD TV after recent digital switchover.

Digital TV uses less airspace than analogue TV, so after the digital switchover there'll also be more room for services such as high-speed mobile broadband and high-definition television (HD TV).

How do i tune the channels on a toshiba rc3910

Hi
Before tuning the set to auto tune mode, make sure the antenna or cable, whatever may, connected to its appropriate sockets at the back of the set firmly. To make it autotune:

As new services are broadcast, it will be necessary to

re-tune the television in order to view them.

Auto Tuning will completely re-tune the television

and can be used to update the channel list. It is

recommended that Auto Tuning is run periodically to
ensure that all new services are added. All current

channels and settings, i.e. locked channels, will be
lost.

[1] Select the SETUP from the main menu by using

Up or Down buttons. Press OK and Setup menu
will be displayed.

[2] Select the Installation from the Setup menu

by using Up or Down buttons. Press OK and
Installation menu will be displayed.

]3] Select Automatic Channel Scan from the Installation

menu by using Up or Down buttons and press OK.

A screen will appear warning that previous digital

programmes and settings will be deleted. Select Yes
and press OK to continue with the Auto tuning.

The television will start to search for all available

stations.You must allow the television to complete

the search. When the search is complete the Auto

tuning screen will display the total number of
services found.

* After search is completed for digital channels, a

message asking whether to search for analogue
channels appears on the screen

** Press the OK button to search for analogue

channels. The following menu appears on the screen
for analogue channel search
OK.

If your TV is not in Digital it won't give you the tuning option.
Select DTV from the on screen menu, (like scart 1 scart 2 etc). When you have found DTV select it and then press menu for tuning.
Hope that helps.

Following the beginning of digital switchover, pressing the menu button only comes up with 'picture quality' and is unable to access 'installation'.

If your TV is not in Digital it won't give you the tuning option.
Select DTV from the on screen menu, (like scart 1 scart 2 etc). When you have found DTV select it and then press menu for tuning.
Hope that helps.

Hi i have hisence 42 inch tv will not tune in keeps saying no signal yet me old tv is fine

Hi there
I am assuming your new TV is now Digital. If so, it will be looking for a different signal to the old TV which was probably analogue. You may need a aerial upgrade/diagnostic to determine if you are recieving a digital signal. Or you can tune in the analogue channels, by switching the new TV to analogue, through the inputs/menu, and then i suggest autotune.
Hope this helps

How do I reset my tv to factory settings. samsung 32 inch LA32R81WDx/xSA

On a different Samsung TV, there is a Picture Reset in the Picture Menu on the OSD. (It's at the bottom of the list.) Similarly the sound reset is in the Sound menu. There is no global reset. (If your Samsung TV's OSD menus are different try under the Support menu.)

I hope this helps.

Hitachi TV - no signal on DTV since switchover

Hi It sounds like you need to re-tune your DVB-Tuner on your TV, NOT the old analogue one, it'll be in settings or setup, or installation and use the "First Time Install" option, because it clears all old channels and loads all fresh new ones! hope this helps!
