No Picture I hit some button on the top and it changed the channel to 2-ANALOG. I switched it back the INPUT4 which has always worked and now no picture. When I try View Mode, it says view mode has not been selected. There is no drop down list anymore either. Any ideas>

Check with an other known disc; have recording in aspect ration 4:3. If that disc show full screen picture, the recording to the present one; you're viewing has wide screen recording. Electro help

if you are using coax cable to conn cable box to tv, be sure to use the analog ant conn on back of tv, and there is a switch on the back of the tv for selecting channel 3 or 4, for cable box use. be sure to turn tv to the same channel the switch is selected to, and always use the cable box to change channels/ programs, not the tv channel selector.

You will need the remote that comes with the tv if there is no menu button on the tv itself to bring the menu up. Hit the menu button and will want to go to the channel option and change it from digital to analog or even just scan for new channels. But honestly, when working with a satilite box you will usually not use your cable or antenna jack in the back of the tv so you might just need to change the input of the tv to get your channels up.

Here's how to scan for TV codes on your DIRECTV remote

1.Make sure your TV is turned on.

2.Slide the mode switch at top of remote to "TV".

3.Press and hold the MUTE button. This is located above the number 1 button.

4.While still holding down MUTE, press and hold the SELECT button until green light at the top of the remote flashes twice.

5.Then enter 991, the green light on remote should flash twice.

5b. Press 1 again (it will flash twice again), then you press the power on button at the very top right.

6.Point remote at TV and press CHANNEL UP button. Tap the CHANNEL UP button repeatedly until the TV powers off.

*If you hit channel up very fast, you risk going past the code. Pressing channel down will back it up. I alway hit channel up very fast till the tv turns off, then back it up slowly till it comes back on.

7.When the TV powers off, press and release the SELECT button.

*Note: If the green light flashes three times before TV responds, then all codes have been cycled through. Our remote controls are guaranteed to program to your DIRECTV receiver, however your TV may not be compatible with our remote control.

try to go to menu then change your tv air to cable std or irc then click channel search..

It sounds like you hit the ANALOG button. Press the MODE button to get back into AUTO.

Input Channel 3 on your TV remote or maybe 003.

switched HDMI plug from HDMI1 to HDMI2 port and that solved the problem

your antenna is not strong enough to receive

digital or your in a area where large

structures are blocking the reception.

you could try turning the antenna slightly

and rescanning .

It sounds like a stuck button or switch. What happens when you hit the channel DOWN, does it still keep scrolling down?
Is this with or without the remote?
Have you tried it with the remote and or the TV?

Let me know whether you are changing the channels with the remote or the buttons on the tv and I can try to give you a couple more suggestions.
