Your television source has been changed to OTA and is tuning in the digital channel 2-1. Depending on the TV, there will be a source or input button on the original remote. You either press this button several times to change the source or you use the arrow keys to navigate through the list. You may need to press OK/Enter to confirm the selection. Some TVs also have a source/input button among the TV front panel buttons. Again you press the button several times or use the arrow key equivalents on the front panel to navigate through the list. On a few TVs, changing the source may be inside the on-screen menu. If you have a universal remote, it may match the source/input function. However, this depends on if the best code is programmed. (Some codes for a given brand don't match all of the functions for a given TV.)

Please add a comment with the make/model and the remote (if not the original remote) if you need help changing the source.

Hdmi input not working

Video is different from HDMI. From what I have seen you should have video inputs and component inputs. instead of trying these video inputs, look for tv/component button on your remote or tv settings.

You might need to change inputs on your TV. Instead of HDMI 1 try HDMI 2 or 3 if available.

HDMI port lost audio

If two HDMI use the other one or if box has component outs use that instead of the one HDMI that does not work.

It is also possible this is a known issue with this set and it is even possible the problem lies with the direct box----reboot it to see if it cures the issue.

When i go to hook up a hdmi cable to my philips flat screen it wont recognize that i have a hdmi plugged into it. so what could that be the tv? the hdmi works with my other tv though

Hi,
This model has 4 HDMI inputs, do you get same problem in each HDMI input?
Did you checked HDMI input with any other video source like dvd player or PS3 etc instead of cable box?
Below are few helpful tips to connect HDMI input..
1. Ensure that your HDMI cable is certified.
2. Press SOURCE on the remote control to switch to another source and then switch back to the HDMI source.
3. Reset the accessory device and the TV.
• Turn on the TV
• Select the HDMI channel
• Turn on the accessory device
4. While the TV and the accessory device are powered on, unplug either end of the HDMI cable and then reinsert the cable.
Try above options and if tv still does not show picture of any video source through HDMI then it seems problem of HDMI processor located on main board, visual check is needed by qualified tech or call Philips if tv is under warranty.
Hope these info will help you.
Thanks.

Have samsung 40inch lcd colour no good on ext 1 and 2 but on hdmi via virgin fine want to play dvd but no good on ext 1 and 2 will new hdmi dvd be ok via hdmi cable instead of scarts

Correct you wiring, color stream uses red, blue, green and they have to be hooked up correctly. the problem is obviously not in your tv or the DVD player.

I have a samsung tv and samsung blu ray i have my dvr in hdmi 1 and my blu ray in hdmi 2. when i first turn on my tv and blu ray it works fine but if i switch to cable the back to blu ray it says no...

First, HDMI is not a perfect hook-up solution. Cable box connections via HDMI are notorious for being problematic. The best thing you can do is contact Samsung and get the latest firmware for your TV.
Samsung Customer Care: 1-800-Samsung (1-800-726-7864). If this does not resolve the issue, connect the cable box using Component cables instead of the HDMI. Component cables are HD also. I hope this was of some assistance.

AKAI PLASMA TV. MOEL AKI PDP4273M

Does it perhaps say no HDMI...instead of HTMI?

If so it means that it is not detecting anything from the HDMI input. Make sure that you have the cables properly connected and that you are on the correct TV input.
If thats not the case, try using component cables instead of HDMI and see if it works that way.

My cable box doesnt recognise my hd tv when i hook up the 2 with an hdmi cable

Check operations manual for HDMI hook up. Some cab/box have to be switched from menu. If you can't use HDMI, use component cables instead, there's not much difference in picture quality. Possible bad HDMI cable
