Channel search instructions

Channel picker? I assume that is a channel changer right? Heh. Well, there are many, many, universal remotes. If you go to your local electronic store you can find some to suite your needs. Programming it is another story, but they call come with instructions.

Channel changer from the remote? or from the TV? if it is from the remote, that's an easy fix, take off the batteries open the back of the remote, clean the circute board the one that is painted green, clean the remote contact pads as well the one that has a black dot like thingy with cotton balls slightly damp in rubbing alcohol, let it dry put it back together and replace with a new battery.

Here is a link to what you need!!!

This is the user's manual for a Phillips remote control. There is a list of codes in it. They should be rather universal. There's also instructions as to how to program it. I believe that there is a way to program it without using the codes.

Hope this helps :)

I followed the tech's suggestion and bought another remote. Thank you.

Double check ALL your ant wire connections. Then reprogram the converter to check for stations again. If that doesn't work then reposition your antenna and reprogram again.

I was told that in order to view 2 different channels at the same time u have to subscribe to SKYCable and use the digital input instead of the antenna input and the antenna input you will have to use the regular antenna since there is only one tuner in the TV
