Hi, I’m a newbie here and I just wonder if anybody can help me?

I’ve just bought a new JVC tv (not WiFi) and connected my Virgin box, but am getting no response.

On turning on the telly it starts to take me through the set up procedure, but when it comes to tuning the channels I just get a ‘No channels found or lost signal, check your aerial connection’ message.

I’ve connected the Virgin box so I was hoping this would automatically register with the tv as I don’t have an aerial?

The Virgin box is on but unresponsive, I’ve tried plugging it into each of the three htm ports on the telly, but it makes no difference?

Any advice would be helpful please, thanks.

Hi

Have you selected the correct source on the TV remote.?

Most new tv's would normally switch to the correct hdmi source when powered on, but maybe your isn't

Make sure the Virgin box is on then cycle through all the source options via the tv remote and see if that helps

The first thing a new TV will search for is Freeview TV channels via its aerial socket. This is what is giving you the message.

Some will automatically switch to a HDMI source that is live, some won't, in which case you will have to select the HDMI socket manually.

Look for AV, Aux or a symbol of an arrow pointing into a TV screen on the TV remote.
