I would suggest calling your cable service provider. I just purchased the same TV and experienced the same problem/question. I have ATT Uverse and called and spoke with technical support. They said that you need a HDMI cable and the cable settings need to be set to HRC (High Resolution Compatible) or someting like that. The other 2 settings are analog modes! I had mine originally set to STD I just randomly picked this setting and had my TV conected to the cable box useing a coax cable, this is why it looked strange. I hope this helps? I will be picking up a HDMI cable on my way home from work today and will change my cable setting on my Samsung to HRC. If this does not fix the problem I will repost tomorrow, but I am sure this is the solution. Happy viewing!

I cannot change the channel on Westinghouse TV. Model SK-19H2105 - Tried to do the fix mentioned for channel scan - cannot find the channel scan.

Press the “Menu” button on your remote or the side panel to access the On Screen Display

(OSD)

—Use the right/left arrow buttons to scroll across to the “Setup” menu

—Use the up/down arrow keys to select “TV” and “Quick Setup”

• Use the arrow keys to select your “Time Zone”, which allows you to receive

proper HDTV programming information

• Continue with arrow keys to select your signal source “Air/Cable/IRC/HRC”

—If you use a rooftop or indoor antenna, select “Air”

—If you use a cable service, select “Cable,” “IRC” or “HRC” (depending on the frequency

used by your cable service)

—Press the left arrow key to start scanning for channel

> I had comcast before but now i don't, don't use a converter box and somehow I was getting cinemax and other channels on the tv
Comcast was providing Cinemax and many other channels as part of your paid services and you will not receive these unless you are a subscriber. There is a good selection of free broadcast channels unless you live outside city areas. If you do, you will then need an external antenna and probably an amplifier to get more distant signals. Auto programming will not find the channels you were receiving from Comcast so there will be only accidental channel duplication; for example, if your former channel 10 was NBC, it may be channel 7 when receiving signal from an antenna.
There are essentially no more 'Analog' stations still broadcasting, they are now all 'Digital.' The abbreviations 'Std' refers to the aspect ratio (H/W) of the picture area and 'Hrc' and 'Irc' the available resolution or how many pixels and lines on the screen.

I have a Jensen TS2750J model ... am trying to hook up and be able to process the HD that the home I rent a room from receives that signal from their cable company ... but don't know how to get my TV...

Hi.

The setting on your tv for the best signal is the HRC setting.
HRC stands for High Resolution Cable.

If you connect the cable to the blue jack, and set your tv to HRC, when you scan for stations, it should pick up all of them, not just the analog cable stations.

Now, some cable companies require an additional adapter, provided by them, in order to recieve the cable signal properly.

This adapter is called a digital transport adapter.

You should contact the cable provider, and see if the adapter is required in order to recieve their signal properly.

I hope this helps you out.

Good luck to you, and have a good day.

A 96 model : 16-422 is stuck in HRC or IRC and we cannot manouver thru menu to change it back to CATV

HRC/IRC is CATV
Who is the manufacturer and Model ?
Older Sharp sets had a switch on the back near Antenna in.
Other sets have a "setup" in the menu that will let you navigate further to hooking up the TV.

Cannot connect to cable

if going to straight cable 1)make sure not in an all digital market. you may need some type of box. 2) if can hook straight make sure if it it has an option of HRC or IRC and make sure it is HRC or (std) in some cases.

What is the difference between HRC, IRC, Std and Auto when scanning channels - I hate the new digital TV world - it has total confused things - I have comcast cable

Usually standard broadcast is is the default setting,some other cable company use HRC and URC, these are ways to transmit or deliver their signal trough cable wire,ask comcast cable for their transmission type.

Screen remains blue with "no signal" written on it, inspite of a cable connection and, of course, the input set to cable

Probably a bad video processor board

But, 1st try using a different type of Cable such as IRC, STD, or HRC different freqs and channels

Also, try using a vcr or dvd on one of the inputs to see if that works

Cable setuo for model 27r410t

Get an antenna hooked up, even rabbit ears should pull in a few analog channels. Set top boxes will only output Ch 3 (switcheable to ch 4 on the back if needed) and cable may be dead or only give you scrambled CATV channels. You need to set your tuner to "antenna", not CATV, IRC,HRC, or ATSC (if you have a digital tuner) and do the setup again. You could have a bad tuner at worst, and all is not lost, just hook up a VCR via RCA cables and use the VCR tuner to change channels. Keep TV on Ch3.
