When there is a software update available, a message will normally appear on your screen. It is essential that you accept this update as soon as possible to ensure your viewing experience is optimised. Software updates are carried out to both enhance your viewing experience and to also ensure any minor issues are resolved swiftly.

Please watch the below video to perform a camera test on the remote using a smartphone. This will allow you to see if the remote is producing a signal.

This message will show when the TV is not receiving a signal, either through the aerial or an external device connected.

Ensure you have selected the correct input source for viewing (for example, HDMI if you have an external device connected to the TV via HDMI). If you are using an aerial to watch the inbuilt Freeview channels, change the input source to Digital or DTV to view these channels.

If you have purchased a universal remote, it should come with an instruction guide as to how to pair the remote with the TV. It will often have a list of codes for different brands. Locate the codes for this brand of TV, and follow the instructions to pair together.

Check that all connections are fully inserted on both your TV and viewing source (for example, an aerial or a Sky box). If the issue persists, please try the following.

1. Unplug the TV from the wall and disconnect any external devices.
2. Hold down the manual button on the unit for 30 seconds (if unsure of location please refer to the user manual).
3. Plug the TV back into a mains socket.

Please see how to perform a power reset here:

If the TV is missing some channels, we would recommend carrying out an automatic channel scan to tune in these channels, and if necessary trying a First Time Installation or Factory Reset through the menu.

If this has not resolved the issue, you can check for any issues with the signal in your area using the Freeview website here.

You can use a digital aerial on this TV to access Freeview channels. This can be an external aerial that has been fitted by an engineer, or an indoor aerial that you can purchase and fit yourself.

If purchasing an indoor aerial, we would recommend checking the distance from the transmitter as aerials will have a different range specified on the product box. You can check the distance from your nearest transmitter using the Freeview coverage checker here.

This should help to identify what aerial you will need, and what distance range would be required for your location.

Ensure the TV is plugged into a mains socket and, if necessary, try an alternative mains socket. An extension lead does not always supply the TV with sufficient power, so the TV may not be able to turn on fully if connected this way.

We would recommend trying the below steps:

1. Unplug the TV from the wall and disconnect any external devices.
2. Hold down the manual button on the unit for 30 seconds (if unsure of location please refer to the user manual).
3. Plug the TV back into a mains socket.
