Why am I getting no signal on my TV?
Check the cable connections between the TV and your video device or receiver. Change the channel or try a different input device or movie. The received signal may be weak. If your TV uses a cable or satellite box, you may need to contact your service provider for further assistance in improving the signal strength.
Why is my TV not picking up cable channels?
First check that your TV is set to the correct Source or Input, try changing the Source or Input to AV, TV, Digital TV or DTV if you haven’t already. If your “No Signal” message is not due to incorrect Source or Input being selected, then it’s most likely caused by a set up or antenna fault.
What input should TV be on for cable?
If you’re using a coaxial cable, your television’s on-screen input list will usually label it as either TV or ANTENNA. On the back of the television it will usually be labeled ANTENNA or a variant of it, such as ANT. Most televisions will also need to be on either channel 3 or 4 when using a coaxial connection.
How can I Hide my cable box behind my TV?
It’s as easy as holding your cable box behind your TV and having another person try to use the remote. Bonus tip: try to avoid the “brains” of the TV. Now, if your IR remote doesn’t work, we recommend purchasing an IR extender. These small receivers usually connect via USB, which you can connect to the back of your TV or cable box.
Why is my HDMI cable not working on my TV?
If the connections are not fitting tightly or slipping out, there might be slight damage to the ports. It’s nothing serious that a TV mechanic can’t fix, and you can simply migrate to an alternative HDMI port. (Most TV manufacturers include at least two HDMI ports.) Disengage the HDMI cable and re-insert it in the old or new HDMI port.
What should I do if I Can’t Find my cable box?
If you are unable to locate these settings in your particular cable or satellite box, please contact your service provider.
Why do I need to change the resolution of my cable box?
It is recommended to fix the format to 1080i resolution on your cable or satellite box. This way the cable or satellite box does not need to switch formats between channels. Channel change time may be improved and you may eliminate the momentary flashes and distortions.
