SOURCE: TV gets stuck on channel, won't advance past channel 7.1

Background:
I'm assuming you have Cablevision. This is becoming a known problem with their broadcasting system. They have been upgrading since last thursday and it has been causing the Sharp TVs to freeze up on channel 7.1. There have been reports of channel 21, 21.1, and 24 as well.

Simple way to fix it:
1. Unplug tv
2. Unplug coax from tv
3. Plug tv back in
4. In the Menu go to Setup > CH setup > CH Memory > Cable (digital)
5. Enable channel skip for channel 7.1
6. Push Menu to exit
7. Change to any other channel
8. Reconnect coax to tv.

Followup:
Avoid channel 7.1 and go give Cablevision a call and let them know about it. They won't do anything to fix it until they get a certain number of reported issues about the problem. Enjoy.

SOURCE: Emerson 20 inch flat screen tv problem

i had the same problem with a 32 inch and i kept "clicking" the channel changer on the remote to force the tv to go to another channel (that had previously been selected during the initial auto scan) --- still trying to figure out why the tv locks onto the scanning for channel

SOURCE: Sony HDTV flat - no picture with HDMI cable and Verizon FIOS box

Probably a handshake problem with the cable box. It is common for cable boxes to have HDMI handshake problems. Hook the box up using the component cables and you should be fine

SOURCE: TV stuck on one channel

Remove batteries from remote, and test again the touch buttons on TV with remote batteries out. This to exclude the possibility that remote has a stuck button.

If the problem persists , then it is probably a faulty IR board on TV (the one that gets IR signal from remote), or a faulty touch button switch.

SOURCE: I lost the remote and cant find a universal that

you can go to menu options, than find programming options.
Look for an option called "autoprogram" and select it. It will search and set all available channels.

There is universal remotes for this tv that you can find by googling "elements electronics remotes":

2010 60 inch flat screen stuck on welcome screen has flashing green power button

Check that you have other operating channels. This may indicate that your tuner board is not working, and that you cannot process channel signals for your TV. Likely you have adequate power if the LED is green.

Search thru the setups in the menu for a store/home setting. Sounds like it may be set to a demo mode that would be used in a store.

Channel stuck problem

Hi,
How long does it take (in seconds) before it changes teh channel? Because some TV's, if you have more than 10 channels, have to wait before they change because you might want to change to a higher channel Example:
suppose your TV has 99 channels but your remote has only buttons from 0 to 9. So if you want to switch to channel 7 the TV waits a little before it actually switch to 7 because there might come another nuber after the 7 as the TV doesnot know what channel you wants. 2 to 3 seconds should be the maximum delay.
If it takes more time, check if this can be changed in the menu, often there is a delay possibility in the setup menu.
If teh delay is over 4 seconds and you still have warranty on it, just return it to the vendor.

BLOWN PIXELS

Usually not but in some cases gently massageing the dot(tv turned on or off try both) with your finger may work (dont push too hard)

or put on a channel with static and try

your chances are slim though this is usually a defect in the lcd technology and most manufactures only warranty it for 5-7 stuck pixels
