There may be a firmware upgrade needed here--ask Philips what is available for this model.

SOURCE: No Signal

You will have changed the video/audio input, on your tv, it should be an input button on remote. The signal will either be on AV1, AV2, AV3 Component or HDMI.

SOURCE: tv guide on our LG tv

If, when selecting the guide, the entire screen is black (except for the preview in the corner), then the digital main board has gone bad and will need replaced.

Hope this helps, please rate my solution.

SOURCE: no signal

You have changed the input to a selection that does not have a signal. Look at where the cable goes into the TV, this should show the name of that input, then change input back to that exact one via your remote.

SOURCE: blue screen need to know how to scan channels to get input to come back up

Will need to know what tv you have, but you are right it is probably your input button. if you pushed it on your remote then there should be an input button on remote. otherwise you will have to go into the tv menu and setup it up there.
if you respond with model and make of tv, might get more info.

Sylvania tv screen went black last night when we hit a channel button on remote
More likely you hit the Source / Input button and lost the signal. Press it again until it comes back.

No Signal on the tv
Before fixing this issue turn off the machine completely and make sure from the plug. Ok now take batteries out of milk. You have hit a combination of buttons and your remote this is called a jamremo set and your TV manual probably won't cover it. Although it is a simple fix. Just go out to an electronics store and buy a universal remote and you can simply turn the TV back on with this new remote and click Menu and it works fine.

Everytime I press remote channel 3 keeps showing up
A television set usually receives a signal from a cable box, DVD player, etc., on a specific TV channel. Channel 3 is the most commonly used for this purpose. So when you press certain buttons on the remote, the TV tells you "Hey! Somebody selected TV Channel 3!" This is normal-- IF the remote you're using is a remote for the cable box, DVD, etc. If you get this and you don't have a cable box or other signal source, then something else is wrong... maybe you're using the wrong remote?

I pressed the buttons on the side of the tv and now i cannot get a picture
It's probably the input. Use the input or source button to change the input to the one corresponding to your receiver (don't know? check the back of your DISH remote or try them all!) Most TVs will change the input to the old TV (ch 3, etc) when you hit the channel up or down button or if you hit input or source, so it only takes a small brush with the wrong button to ruin your night.

I'm hooked up tp Dish Network an hit wrong button on top for volume and now pic is gone. in lower left corner says no signal., but dish is working, just no picture on screen
Hey there, Cheri Torres with DISH Network Customer Service here. It sounds like you are going to need to change your TV back to the proper input or channel. If the TV remote is not working to change the channels you can also use the buttons on the front of the TV. First look for a button listed as either input, TV/video, source or AUX. When you press this button it will start cycling through all the inputs available, make sure to cycle through them slowly because it make take a couple seconds for the picture to come in. If you do not find a picture on any of the inputs you are going to need to try the different channels. Normally for a TV where the receiver box is the TV should be set to channel 3 or 4. Once you have found your DISH Network picture you will want to make sure to push the SAT button on the DISH remote so that it doesn't change the TV channel again. I hope you find this information useful and if you have any further questions or concerns please let me know. Thanks. :)

What are u using for a signal source? Cable, Satellite, Over the air? My best guess is that you hit a wrong button such as the "source" button and the remote doesn't know what device you are wanting to opperate. Press volume up then down and see what light lights up?
If it is other than "TV" then you probably have the wrong device selected... Hope this helps... Sincerely HDTV GURU JAY

I changed the cabling between my Phillips tv and set-top box a few times and I lost the signal. The signal is from UPC, it's piped tv. They said to locate the av channel on the tv and this would restore...
The only way to change the source for the 28PW8608/05 is to use the remote. On the original remote, just below and to the left of the power button is the button you need. The image on it is a square with an arrow going into the square from one side. The inputs should go TV, EXT1, EXT2, (EXT3 on some models), Front). Depending on the set top box, you may need to enter the setup menu and set the digital source for the input (Press together Fast Rewind and Stop > Setup > Digital Source) or the decorder (next option in Setup).

If you do not have the original remote, you will need universal remote with an input or source button and to find the code that matches the function. Some codes may only operate the basic functions. (The lowest end universal remotes often lack this feature.) A universal remote that can be programmed via a USB connection with a computer will be the fastest to set up.

I hope this helps.

Orion TVD2710. Lost remote, can't change signal input
I would suggest you try to find a universal remote that has an "input" or "source" button and program that one to your tv. By pressing the "source" or "input" button, it will change the input to the tv. I hope this helps! -Der Strom

TV input
it is likely that your tv is interpreting a random button on your remote as a signal sent for it to change inputs, next time this happens turn the tv off and back on and note what comes up on the screen, for example video 1,
