Remote selects a station and the tv jumps ahead several channels.

First, ensure that the TV is set to the TV (either NTSC (analog) or ATSC (digital)). To do this, press the Source button until this is the highlighted source. (The Source button is the second from the left (as you face the set) on the top of the TV. There is also a source button on the remote above and to the right of the arrow keys.) Next press the Menu button (center of the arrow keys on the remote or the button just to the right of the Source button on the TV). Use the navigation arrows to navigate the menus. The Channel up/down buttons mimic those arrow keys on the remote. Press the Volume Up or right arrow to select an item. Next select Setup and go to Preset. Select this sub-menu and go to Reception. Select the item and then set the mode to TV for over-the-air. Set this to CATV for cable on the antenna RF input. Press Menu repeatedly to go back in the menu system. Return to the Preset section of the Setup menu. Navigate to the Auto Install and select this. Wait for the TV to scan all channels for either NTSC or ATSC depending on the current Source. Exit the menu and change the source to the other TV tuner. Repeat the steps to Auto Install to store channels for both the analog and digital tuners.

The manual is available from ManualsLib here: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/101765/Memorex-Mlt1912.html . See pages 5, 16 and 17 (pages 6, 17 and 18 as labeled by ManualsLib) for the screen shots and pictures of the remote control and front panel buttons for these steps.

Since there are only a few low-power NTSC stations still broadcasting, you may not find any stations when you scan for channels with NTSC as the source. Depending on the stations in your area, skipping the Auto Install step for NTSC may be appropriate. I hope this helps.

go to the Menu and you should find it.

If you are receiving a "No Signal" error message, verify that:

1. All of the cables physically connected to the TV and the input device are secure.
2. The input device is turned on.

Your TV needs to scan for channels before it can show programming from an antenna, from cable TV when the cable comes directly from the wall (no cable box), or from a cable or satellite box connected to the TV with a coaxial (RF) cable. Do not scan for channels if you have a cable or satellite box connected using AV (Composite), Component, or HDMI cables. The box selects the channel, not the tuner inside your television. If you are not using the "TV" input, press the INPUT button on your remote until the correct input mode is selected.
To perform a channel scan using the coaxial input:

1. Press the INPUT button on your remote to view your current input source. The TV (coaxial cable) input must be selected. This may appear as "TV," "ANT," or the channel and call letters of a station.
2. If the TV input is not selected, press INPUT until the TV input mode is selected.
3. Open the on-screen menu and select TV or Tuner option. (This varies by model.)
4. Highlight Tuner Mode and select the correct option:
   • Antenna-over-the air signals from an antenna
   • Cable-direct from the wall cable TV, or a cable or satellite box connected to the TV with coaxial cable
5. Select Auto Search or Auto Channel Scan. (This varies by model.)
6. When the search reaches 100% complete, exit to the menu.
7. Check the available channels:
   • Antenna or direct-from-wall cable-Press the Channel Up and Channel Down buttons on your VIZIO TV remote to view the available channels.
   • Cable or satellite box- Will return only one channel. Use the cable or satellite remote's Channel Up and Channel Down buttons.

If this does not resolve the issue, power cycle the TV and then re-run the channel scan:

1. Turn off the TV.
2. Unplug the TV from the electrical outlet.
3. While the TV is unplugged from the wall, press and hold the Power button on the TV for 30 seconds.
4. Release the power button.
5. Plug the TV back into the electrical outlet.
6. Turn on the TV.

Note: There is also an option to reset the TV to the factory default settings. This option is in either the SETUP or SYSTEM section of the on-screen menu. The option may be "Reset all settings", "System Reset," or "Reset & Admin." Consult your TV's user manual for the location and steps for resetting your model.

1. Remove the coaxial cable from the DTV/TV connector on the back of your television and perform a channel scan to clear the existing channels. See the procedure above. This should not find any channels.
2. Re-attach the coaxial cable to the DTV/TV connector and perform a new channel scan.

This video shows troubleshooting steps to use when a "No signal" message appears.

Auto tune the channels as found in the manual

1. On your remote, press Menu.
   
2. select Channel and press OK on your remote.
3. select Auto Tuning and press OK on your remote.
4. select Yes and press OK on your remote.

Remove the DVR station from the box, and attach the DVR adapter plate (found in the
DEVICE box); it is correctly attached when it clicks on.
-Take the Black Audio/video Marked "output" cable, and insert the connections into the corresponding coloured sockets, yellow>yellow, green> green etc. Make sure they are
inserted into the TOP row on the back of the DVR Station "Marked Out". The remaining
black connector should be plugged into the SW socket, which can be found underneath
the orange socket on the back of the DVR station. (If after setting up your ARCHOS the
picture is very green remove the black cable from the SW socket)
-Plug the SCART connector into the SCART socket on your TV set. These are usually
marked AV1, AV2, or Ext 1, Ext 2, L1, L2, Line in 1, Line in 2, Aux 1, Aux 2, make sure you
select the corresponding channel above (ie AV1 AV2 etc) on your TV set when you turn on
the TV.
-Attach the UK plug adapter to the Mains charger, and plug the charger into the DC-In
socket on the back right of the DVR station. Turn the mains on at the socket.
-Insert the powered off ARCHOS unit onto the DVR station, the unit will now power on,
and ask if you want to 'Switch to TV out', select 'Okay'. The 'TV output configuration' set
up will load up. Select 'Okay'.
-TV connection: When your DEVICE is connected to the optional DVR Station you need to
select the type of video output (Composite, S-video, component, RGB, HDMI etc), based
on how you have connected the DVR Station to your TV and what possibilities your TV will
allow. For the cables supplied and the instructions aboce you will need to select either
RGB or Composite. Use the arrows to go through the options and select either RGB or
Composite.
-TV Standard: this should be set to PAL (Europe). Select 'Next'.
-Now you need to test the settings, select 'Okay', the ARCHOS home screen should now
be visible on your TV set. If you have nothing showing on your TV, scroll through the
AV/Ext channels, the channel will correspond to the AV/Ext socket you connected the
cable to on your TV set. Use the ARCHOS remote to select 'Okay'; you have now set up
the output connection settings for your DVR station.
-You may need to adjust your output from the ARCHOS to match your TV, from the "TV
Format" options. Use the arrows on the ARCHOS remote to select the format of your TV
screen, so the ARCHOS unit outputs the correct picture size (ie 4:3 / 16:9 etc). Use the
arrows on the remote to select 'Next'.

All TV sets go as low as channel 1. Its just that your tv has been preset to skip certain channels because no station was stored on them. All you have to do is go to the unit and manually change the stations with the program button.
If on the other hand this does not work try going through the menu button like you want to tune a new station and after tuning a station select it to be saved in position 1 Then you can acces channel 1.
Hope this solution has been helpful?

Hi. This problem is caused because the 'repeat' setting on the device that you use to change channels (TV or cable box) is too high.

1. In the software, click 'Troubleshoot' next to the icon for the device that you change channels on.
2. Select '<device> responds to some commands either too many times or only occasionally' and click NEXT.
3. Decrease the setting by one (the default is usually 3).
4. Update your remote and test it.

You need to make sure the TV is set for "cable" tuning and not "standard" or "air." (If you are getting only local off-air channels and no cable stations at all, be sure you have a good cable and connection to the set. Normally, even if the TV is set for "air" you will get the low-number cable channels 2-13.) This is usually a selection through the TV's set-up menu. With a universal remote, it may be difficult or even impossible to get to all the menu entries. Most replacement remotes don't support all the original remote functions. Try with yours and good luck. Once you get the TV set to the proper tuning, you should have all your cable channels.

Simple Fix

I had the same problem, couldn't change the channels with the remote or on the side of the TV. This was for a Vizio 37"

Here is the fix:

1. Turn on TV

2. With remote, press the Menu Button

3. Go to Antenna Menu

4. Select Auto Search
Let it search, it could take several minutes. It may not finish to 100%, mine got stuck at 79% for 10 minutes. It's fine if that happens, go ahead and cancel.

5. It should be done, your remote will work perfect along with the TV channel buttons.

What you need to do is take the remote, go into the menu, find channel scan and do a channel scan to find all the available stations available on this system. Make sure the TV set is in the cable mode and not antenna mode or you wont get any stations above channel 13.
