I got a 50" Insignia TV hooked up with HDMI cable and use Direct TV service. My problem is that the channels icon which is located in any of the 4 corners of the tv are cut off, also when there are prompts as to what people are saying wrote on the bottom of the screen will never fit either, no matter what setting the aspect ratio is on, please help!!!!

First, I'm not a Insignia representative.
* Check your warranty. call for support.

*** Following for information only.***
* No signal means no usable signal for a specific input on the TV or monitor. Check your cable box. Contact your cable service provider.
* If it's just a monitor and not a multi-function TV that also has a Computer to video input then you need to check the device that's hooked up to the monitor as single function monitor's usually only have one input.
* If this is a TV then you need to go to the TV menu and check the "Input Source" to make sure it's on the input plug your using. (I'm using HDMi-2 on my laptop to TV)
* If it's not on the correct input then there will be a different signal (DVD, VCR, etc.) or none at all (No Signal) if those units are turned off.
* Unplug all devices (to reset) and count to 10. Power up and perform set up to your existing configuration.
* Note; as of Jan 2018 most cable TV are not broadcasting in analog (chan 3) and must use a digital tuner to get signal. Some cable Co. provide converters (for a fee?)
* Check with your service provider for more information.

PS, If you do have a damaged input (or feed) then check your video device for alternative outputs; IE: RCA Vid-Right-Left audio, HDMI, Split video (Y-G-B), VGA, S-plug, etc.

* This your model?; https://www.cnet.com/products/insignia-ns-42p650a11/specs/
* I notice there is no cable input. Try switching to another of inputs;
2 x HDMI input - rear
Composite video input - rear
S-Video input - rear
2 x component video input - rear
Audio line-out
VGA input - rear
2 x audio line-in - rear
Digital audio output (optical)

Check on the cable connection between TV and cable box, secure tightly hook up. Then check input setting for HDMI - normally HDMI 1/2/3 , then "COAX" use channel 3 or 4/ You can also try to press arrow down button until you reach a channel. If you are using cable remote try to also check the input setting using original Tv remote control. Then try to powercycle the cable box and Tv conenction.

Hey there!
Is there a button on the set or remote that says "input" or "source"? That will change the input settings from cable, to HDMI or RCA (aux).

Hello! I hope that you have been able to get that picture on your tv. Here are some simple steps for you.

If you are at TV1, where the receiver box is located, the tv needs to be on channel 3 or 4. Depending on the cable that is running between the receiver and the tv, the tv may need to be on an input, such as video 1 or 2. If you are at the TV2 location, where there is no receiver, then the tv needs to be on channel 60 or 73.

If you are using an HDMI cable, your tv usually needs to be on am HDMI input. If you are using component cables, usually the tv needs to be on a component input. RCA cables need to be on a Video input. If you are using coax cable, no cable is needed.

I hope this helps.

TV when hooked to Direct TV by HDMI will not work, it must be hooked by RCA cables. I now have 1080i rather than 1080P. The HDMI cable and the direct TV box has been changed. What can the problem be?

have you tried to change the audio settings to HDMI on tv? when u have HDMI hookd up u have to change the audio to HDMI also

I had the exact same problem on a brand new Insignia 26 " LCD with DVD. Comcast tech was able to fix it by changing the Comcast box diagnostics. Here is what he did. Using the Comcast remote with the TV on - press power, cable, menu in that order. A comcast diagnostic srceen will appear. Select Additional HDMI options, then audio options. Change the audio options to L-PCM. Press power again to exit the diagnostics. That will fix it and you get to use the HDMI cable.
