Welcome to the DTVUSA Forum. A simple inexpensive A/B switch will do the same thing.

And what will that do exactly?

Actually, is there anything else connected to your "other" TV? DVD player? VCR? Does it have an available input?

DeCoding_America

yes a few more on my tv

Aaron62

We need as many details as possible.

First.

1. What audio/video equipment is currently connected to your TV?

2. How many inputs are "available" on the back of your TV? 0? 1? 2?

3. If you have a VCR, do you want to able to record digital programming from it?

4. You mentioned A/V button on your other TV, but some TVs call this button "Source" or "Input" too. Do you have anything like that on your remote?

5. What kind of wire do you plan on connecting the converter box to the TV? Coax or RCA?

DeCoding_America

well...

1] none
2]3 rows of [red,white,yellow]
3]No, i have a DVR that i would like to hook up but I get confused from all the cables,lol
4]the tv that i have problems with now does have an Input button on the remote but i tried & nothing.
5]whats the difference of Coax/RCA?

Aaron62

RCA has red/white/yellow connection, and coax is a single (white or black) cable that has one prong on it.

So you have the converter connected right now to the TV? You just can't see the setup screen or menu? Do you see a black screen or snow? Is the TV set to channel 3? channel 4? or have you cycled through all of the "inputs"? If you see a completely black screen, try pressing the menu button on your converter remote.

I have RCA,yes its connected.
yeah, i cant see it & the screen is blue[channel 4]

Hi, ok try channel 3 and hit the menu button on your converter. If nothing, try hitting the input button on your tv remote once and pressing the menu button again on your converter.

One thought, the back of your TV has both input and output RCA connections. Are you sure the converter is connected to one of the RCA inputs?
