Although my tv is connected correctly, we have somehow got it "off" the correct channel I think. We don't use this tv often but a few months ago it worked fine. We have done nothing to it that I know of BUT now it just produces "snow". I believe it is on the wrong channel but I don't know what the correct one is. HELP, it is now spring break, the grandkids are coming. I need help! What is the channel to have the tv on to receive DishTV? If that isn't the problem, what else could it be?

If you have a standard dish receiver with only a coaxial cable to the TV, then probably the TV should be on channel 3 or 4.

You gave too technical an answer . I'm 80 years old & don't know what you are talking about.

Assuming you have a TV hooked up to some kind of cable box, I would venture to say the TV is telling you it is not receiving a signal from the cable box.
Two things could be the problem;
1 You are on the wrong channel to receive a signal - some boxes send the signal to you on channel 3 - if your TV somehow got changed to channel 4, for example, it would not recognize the signal from the box. Make sure you are on the correct channel setting.
2. The cable box may not be turned on or formated properly. Turn the box off and then back on after a few minutes. Follow any messages on the screen on the box for a proper start-up.

If nothing helps, call your cable company for assistance..

I can not accrss either a VCR tape or a DVD.

Is the TV saying no signal? Are you on the correct input? Is it SCART or composite? Are you getting sound? If no sound then it might be on the wrong input on the TV

SionEvery few days when switching on Luxor TV I get the message " No signal "

you did not mention that with which input you are using your tv. may be the input's cable is some times not connecting (bad wire) which sometime connects sometime does not. you try with replacing the wire & see if the problem is corrected.

The program light blinks all the time. I do not have a remote. I have a convertor box on the tv and an antanna but I keep getting a message saying to check antanna and connections, no sinal. I get a few...

I'm assuming you are getting more than two digital channels into the converter so the problem lies in how the converter is connected to the TV, which I presume is via a coaxial cable, right and you have the TV tuned to analog channel 3 or 4, right?

If that is all true, the RF coax cable solution is not going to work. The few channels you were getting, either side of 3 or 4 is just RF bleed.

Try this, acquire somehow a A/V hookup cable that has 3 RCA male jacks on each end. One cable will have YELLOW ends, This is composite VIDEO. There will be two others colored RED and WHITE (or perhaps black). This is for the AUDIO. The outputs on the converter and the inputs should be colored the same way. Hook the two up, noting which INPUT (1, 2 or 3) on the TV you have plugged into. Not sure of the exact number your TV has. Make sure you change the TV to INPUT whatever. You may also have to re-scan your converter. As long as your antenna is connected correctly gto the converter you should gain a lot more channels. Let me know how you make out.

I have just bought a 42LED5300 TV. However, after just 1 day of watching it, the screen has no picture although audio can still be heard in the background.

Make sure all of your audio and video cables are connected correctly. Make sure you selected the correct imput channel on the set. What I mean is if your watching a video, make sure you have selected the correct channel for the device you are using, either video 1 or2 and that the device is correctly installed to the TV. If you still have no picture, contact the store which you bought this and ask them if there is anything they can help you with, if this doesn't resolve the issue themn by all means take it back to the place of purchase and get an exchange. One day old they should take it back without an issue

My playstation wont transmit a picture to my television

Make sure everything is connected correctly. Then, turn on the PS3 from putting your finger on the "power button" but HOLD IT DOWN. After a few seconds it will beep at you a few times. Check the TV. If the video OUT settings got messed up somehow, it should now display picture on whatever cables you are using "HDMI" or "Composite" . Hope this helps!

I have retuned my parents tv but now the digital (freeview) channels do not have the correct channel numbers and I cannot find anything in the manual as to how to change them. For example, freeview channel...

It sounds like the TV has re-mapped the channels incorrectly. You possibly can contact Toshiba to see if there is a firmware/software upgrade that will fix this issue. If there is you may be able to download the software off of their website and install yourself. Just make sure if that is the case follow the directions carefully. Please take a few moments to rate my answer. Thanks..
