'No Channel Available (TV)' message appears on the screen of my Philips TV in digital mode

Published on 2016-12-29

The message will appear when no digital channels are stored in the TV's memory.

  • No digital channels are broadcast by the local broadcaster or cable provider. Look up the selected channel(s) in a newspaper or TV guide to be sure it is broadcasted locally.
  • Selected favourites list has no channel(s) added to the list
  • The incoming cable or antenna signal is connected through an accessory device (such as a VCR, DVDR, Cable/Satellite box, etc)

Note: When there are no digital channels broadcast in your area, press the [Analog/Digital] button on the remote control to switch the TV to the analogue mode to view your analogue channels.

If you are using a coaxial connection from the Cable/Satellite box to the TV:

1) Press the [Analog/Digital] button on the remote control to set the TV to analog mode.
2) Set the TV to the same channel as the Cable/Satellite box output channel.
3) Change the channels at the Cable/Satellite box to view the program.

If you are using a video connection from the Cable/Satellite box to the TV:

1) Press the [Source] button on the remote control repeatedly to select the TV input source for the Cable/Satellite box.
2) Change the channels at the Cable/Satellite box to view the program.
