Last year, I had an issue with my antenna not allowing me to watch the TV. After playing around with the TV remote, I discovered that I needed to do a channel search. Have you done a channel search on your TV? The search will help the antenna to pick up the signal of the channels that you would like to watch. http://www.marsdensantennas.com.au/

Is the TV set to air or cable? It has to be set to air/antenna and a channel search has to be done first before a picture will show.

Testimonial: "Yes. I've had the TV for several years. It just started doing this. I guess I wondered if there was something "in" the Tv that would make it stop receiving the signal. Like something broke."

    The board that contains the tuner(spot where you connect the antenna) no longer controls the tuner. You might be able to get a new part from here: www.shopjimmy.com I'll bet you could fix your TV yourself. It's easy.

I have a Hisense Smart Tv and trying to figure out if it;s bluetooth accessable

Hi there, fastest way to determine this is by using your smartphone and through settings/Bluetooth, search for available devices. If it shows up, then you're good. This all depends on whether the tv is set to 'findable'. elsewise, I would review the tv's menus settings.

Can I watch net flix if I connect my tablet to tv

If you want to play it on your tablet and view on your tv. If you do not have a smart tv you can do it but you need a chromecast . About 30 bucks at best buy . Plugs into your hdmi in back of your tv. I highly recommend it because you can do so much with it. You havr to download an app on your tablet or even your phone! Way cool. Once you set it up you can view anything on your tv that your seeing on your phone. Pictures movies even play music! Its called casting and that little chromecast thing makes any tv a smart tv. Obviously you need Internet as well. But you can open netflix youtube even your personal pictures or Facebook right on your tv. And if you have a nice sound system on your tv you can jam out by casting music. Takes a little info but set it up once and your good to go!

Fix tv picture

If the TV is receiving its signal from a cable TV box or DVR then you need to find out if the problem is in the TV or the cable box/DVR. Connect a different source to your TV such as a DVD or Blu-ray player and play a DVD movie. If the problem occurs again it suggests the TV needs repair. If the TV works OK when playing a DVD movie then that suggests that your cable box/DVR needs repair or replacement.
If your TV is receiving its signal directly from an antenna or cable outlet on the wall then you should try replacing the cable wire from the wall to the TV with a new wire. If that doesn't help then your TV probably needs repair or replacement.

I bought Philips antenna, SDV1125T/27. Still I can't get my old tv to work. MY tv is old Toshiba 26AF45C.I'm not sure I bought the correct antenna.Please help

That TV will longer work with any Antenna by itself..the reason is a few years back the government mandated all TV signals will be HD. they sent out HD receiver boxes to allow old non HD TV's receive HD signals...I have a TV in my camper with the receiver Works great...Just see if you can locate one..there were thousands sent out..so they are out there Try Ebay..good luck.
