I've got a message on screen...weak or no signal....I've switched it all off and put it back on...still same

I can't read the screen, but weak or no signal means the signal coming in from the cable box or outside antenna is not good.
You would need to check the box and the cable connections.

Tv it is not getting the tv stations broadcasting incomming signals.Make sure the ur pay CABLE or free AIR incomming broadcasting tv stations signal sources are good and than go in ur tv menu go into SETUP pick AIR or CABLE and rescan channels again.U should have no more weak or no signal message anymore.

It looks like you have lost the signal for the 119 satellite from your dish. Are you getting an error message, either 002 or 015, saying the satellite signal has been lost or acquiring satellite signal? First, check the cables on the back of the receiver to make sure they are secure. You can also run a check switch test to see if there is a problem between your dish and receiver.

Press the Menu button on your remote. This will bring up the Main Menu on your TV screen. Input the numbers: 6 (System Setup), 1 (Installation), and 1 (Point Dish). On the right side of the Point Dish screen are 3 buttons. Select the Check Switch button. Within the 2 large boxes are satellite numbers and green or red boxes. Make a note of the satellite numbers (should be 119, 110), the trans, the device, and switch. Super dish and alternate should not be checked. Select the Test button on the bottom of the screen. If a box pops up with a warning about TV 2, select Yes. It will now run the check switch test. Let it complete the test. After completion, the screen will automatically go back to the Installation Summary screen. You may get a message stating that the Check Switch test has found fewer satellites than previously detected. If you get this message cancel out of each screen (do not save the results) till you are back to the TV screen and it is acquiring Satellite signal.

If you don't get that error message, see if the information on the Installation Summary has changed. Then select Done on the next 2 screens and cancel out of the others till you get the message, Acquiring Satellite Signal. After it finishes acquiring satellite signal and downloads the program guide, see if you are getting a picture - try different channels. If you still have problems, please email me at, [email protected]. If you are still experiencing problems, we will need to send a technician to fix the problem.

christy39467,

When you had the black screen on your TV, did you have a banner on the top of the screen displaying the channel and information about the channel? If so, then unplugging the receiver from the electrical outlet for 10 seconds and plugging back in will resolve that issue.

If you had the black screen without the banner, it is a different issue. Please let me know if you had any other messages on your TV screen (No signal, weak signal, etc.).

Professional replaced ur tv colors wheel?Or u replace it?Amature people replaced things,that require take out alots of machanicals parts are 50/50 chances put it in wrong or missing some crusal connections,than the parts they put in will be functional for awhile and dies,than the parts is junk.Re examine the colors wheel,that was put in.Recheck all those machanicals parts and those wires plugs in connections was taken out put back correctly and tightly.

Then you don't need codes. It won't amplify the signal and if it's weak it won't receive all the channels.

Weak signal is a weak signal, so not sure what if anything you can do. Buy a satellite subscription???

It is a signal issue.

1. Since my problem (Samsung/Comcast) began with a channel selection button pushed on the TV remote when it should have been pushed on the cable remote, I figured the problem lay with the TV.  Although I was getting the "weak or no signal" msg., the actual signal strength bar graphic showed it to be strong. Disconnecting did no good. I surmised that the TV was simply not recognizing the box.
2. I looked at the manual for my Samsung 750 model. 
3. Page 20 discussed "Selecting the source". I accessed the TV menu and selected "Input", then chose the "HD..." item from the highlighted list. Voila! My tv works again. 

Hi,you have not said weather you are using a scart lead(euro connecter)or an RF lead,if you are using the later don't,please connect the vcr to the tv via the scart to scart euro connecters,use a good quality scart lead(the thicker the better)as the thicker ones generally are 21 pins connected meaning it should be auto switching so as soon as you play a tape it will come straight on.
