Trying to hook up the tv to direct tv, don't have remote and cannot get tv on to channel 3

First off, D12-100 is your direct TV Box, Not your TV. A D-12 -100 direct tv box is not an HD box and will only connect to your tv via a coaxial cable or av jacks (red, white, yellow).
If you have lost your remote for your tv and your direct tv remote does not operate it, then you should be able to find the manual buttons on your television somewhere along the edge of the screen.
Toggle inputs till your on "TV" then use the channel selection to toggle it up or down till it's on channel 3 or 4 for Direct tv, If that doesn't work toggle inputs again and try the AV inputs. And of course if you want to use another device toggle inputs to HDMI 1 or 2.

New tv's don't use dead channels like 00 anymore for there inputs.. They use sources to change from different inputs.. Make sure you have your ps2 hooked up into input plugs on the tv and then turn it on the ps2 then look on the new controller for the tv & find a button saying source .. Press that until you see your ps2 on the screen. If not check your connections try again.

Greetings - You need to have you DVD player hooked up to the video inputs - See below. Don't mind the mouse scratch out lines. The Device on the right represents your DVD player.




You then have to choose video as your source on the TV (not channel 3 or 4) using your remote - see below.


You should be good to go.

Enjoy your movies,

There should be channel buttons on the TV itself, try using those. Also, you may want to try changing the input from the Cable Box. 
I am curious as to why the remotes don't work. Also, how did it get onto channel one. Did you get the TV used?
Here is a link to the AV Science Forum. It seems other people have challenges with this TV as well.

Does it work when you use the DVD player? Or just the problem when you are trying to use Direct TV?
How is the driect TV hooked up to the TV? HDMI, COMPONENT VIDEO, COMPOSITE VIDEO, RF CABLE THROUGH CHANNEL 3 or 4 ON TV?

If you are on Satellite then it only works off of channel 3 and you will not get any other channel on the tv set. But you will need to turn your sat box remote to change channels.

Try the input button on the TV remote it should only allow you to change to the inputs available.

You can use the menu button on the front to autoprogram the unit. Make sure the direct tv is on so the tuner will pick it up. After that, you can program the direct tv remote to operate the tv. The reason the channels won't change is there are none in the memory

have u tried using a universal remote and programming it for your tv? sometimes universal remotes can break a code that a common tv remote cant, hope this helps, just a suggestion!!!!
