Adding a smart tv just requires adding an ethernet cable to your internet connection to the ethernet port on the set. The smart services on the set us a broadband internet connection to work.

SOURCE: Vizio Sound Problem

I've seen the same problem, went thought a couple of cable boxes. Turned out to be an AC line problem. Try plugging the TV into a different out, maybe in another part of the house.

SOURCE: cannot turn CC ON/OFF via remotes

Try this combination.

1) Start with the cable box turned on and TV on tuned to the cable box.

2) Press the POWER button for the cable box and then quickly press the MENU button.

3) This should bring up the user setting menu. Use the arrow keys on remote to go to Closed Caption and press right arrow button this should bring up the closed caption menu.

4) Press the OK button and this should either turn CC on or off.

5) Once Closed Caption is turned off press LEFT ARROW button to return to User Settings Menu.

6) Press the POWER button to turn the Cable box back on and the Closed Caption should be gone....


Good Luck.....

SOURCE: visio flat screen wont work with basic cable Why?

Make absolutely sure that you've selected the right inputs and have them connected properly. Many times, even with people who know what they're doing, wires end up in the wrong places and settings can get messed up.
If it's not the wiring or setup, then it's possible that that particular input is fried or otherwise messed up.

Hi , I would like to have Netflix installed, but I donā€™t own a smart TV can I still have have it installed. Thank you

I recently realized that my old flat screen had a VGA Port and a HDMI port on the back of it. Bingo! Long story short, I took an old 3.0GhZ, Win 7 Pro PC out of the closet, hooked it up to the TV with a VGA monitor cable, wireless keyboard and mouse, decent powered PC speakers, and BAM. Works great. NetFlix, YouTube, Hulu, whatever. Streams great. Not to mention PC games! Best thing I ever did with an old PC. It's just on a basic $49.95 a month Comcast router. Also, the TV has a good Digital Broadcast antenna attached to it (CBS,NBC,ABC,etc.). Just got rid of DirecTV! We watch WHATEVER WE WANT now!

Is there an adapter to switch tv to smart tv

No, but most Blu-ray players are "smart" players and include a Netflix app as well as other services such as HULU, Amazon, etc. Usually, the Blu-ray player will have stickers or or emblems printed on the box or the on the player itself with "Netflix" , etc.
Connect the Blu-ray player to the TV using an HDMI cable. Connect the Blu-ray player to your router/home network with an ethernet cable or wirelessly if your player has built-in Wi-fi. Once that is done you can go to the Main Menu on the player and select Netflix. That should open the Netflix app and connect you for watching Netflix.

We are paying for netflix. How do we get it on our television? Our television is connected to comcast and we have wifi?

But is your TV a "Smart TV"? That means does the TV connect to the internet. Just because you have Comcast connected to your TV doesn't mean it is getting an internet signal. The black coax to the TV only carries a TV signal.
To get internet service to your TV first you have to determine if it is capable. If it does have a wireless receiver in it, you will have to configure it to attach to your wireless base station. If it doesn't have a wireless adapter you will have to connect a network cable from the base station into the TV and then configure it to work with your network. Once you have that internet signal working on your TV you will be able to use Netflix on your TV.

I was given Netflix (stream-in) for a gift, but can not get it to come onto our tv. Please help.

Your TV must be a 'smart' TV i.e. it should have software enabling it to connect to the internet and access features such as Netflix. If you don't have a 'smart' TV then you can purchase a set top box which can be connected to your TV and will allow you to access on-line services such as Netflix. If you have a 'smart' TV then you still need to connect it to your internet router, either with an Ethernet cable or via WiFi if the TV has WiFi built in (or you can buy a WiFi adapter for the TV). If you connect with an Ethernet cable then the TV will connect to your router (and internet) with no further setup. If you use WiFi then you will need to access the WiFi settings menu on the TV and configure the settings for your router.
