Hi

Hoping someone can help me. I have Sky HD in my flat which connects in the usual way but I can then run the Sky back into an aerial wall socket in the lounge and it enables the picture in the 2 bedrooms. In the bedrooms I got terrestrial channels 1-5 and channel 6 was whatever was currently showing on sky.
All good so far.

For Christmas I upgraded my old Sony 20" CRT in the bedroom with a Toshiba 22" LCD model 22AV616DB and connected it in the same way, ie just plugged into TV aerial wall socket.

So I now get freeview fine but how do I get back the Sky channel? I tried the ATV/DTV button to see if I could switch to analgue and get channel 6 back but no joy as the TV says this ATV/DTV does not work on this TV (maybe it only has a digital tuner?)

Can anyone advise?

thanks

If it's got an analogue tuner, you need to tune it.

Hmmm so RTFM then.

I did the auto-setup thing when I first turned it on and all freeview is fine, will see how analogue works - it must have it right (cannot see anythign on remote or in TV menus that indicates this apart from the aforementioned ATV/DTV button on remote

When you tuned your new TV in then the sky box needed to be switched on otherwise the Tuner in the TV wouldnt have seen it.
Switch it to analogue then hit the menu button and look for the tuning option in there.

Sorted now thanks, ask you said I needed to manually tune the analogue tuner (the auto setup recognised I had a digital signal and just ignored anlagoue setup), then the anlaogue channels plus CCTV and sky signals appeared right at the end of the channel list - channel 901 to 907, just moved sky channel to channel 0 and sorted

I RTFM and the FM is hopeless!!
