I don't know, I only use computer monitors. I have seen this question asked before, and guess that older TV's are not compatible with the software on the DVR.

after I installed mine and turned on TV it worked normally so maybe you need to reinstall as may not be seated properly. If that's not it must have other problems

Try moving it around and rescan it every time you move it. That's what I did and I finally got 25 channels. Move it up higher, down lower, across the room a bit, and then to the other side. Keep moving and scanning until you get more channels. I don't know what else to tell you. I hope it works better for you.

It probably has more to do with your cable box and the resolution being transmitted by that channel. Tri changing the cable box display settings. Hard set it to 720p or ensure all formats are on. Either way I suspect it's your box not the tv.

Check your tv settings on your tv menu, and make sure whatever device your using is HD ie PS3, cable, laptop etc

There are words on the receiver that are hard to see but Make sure the short end of the coax is screwed into the TV coax and the long end from the antenna to the receiver (marked ANT) then make sure the power cord is plugged in, if it is plugged into a surge protector, make sure the surge protector is turned On. Auto-scan channels again. Does this help?

Check you T.V Settings make sure you have them set up to the sony. Sounds like you don't have them connected correctly.

Unless you received a defective TV it sounds like a setting needs adjusting. Have you looked at the output settings on the BR player? Also, are you connecting it via HDMI? Other cables will give a lousier image. Also, you may need to adjust the color, contrast, etc., settings on the TV to make it look better.

See Jeff's answer. If you have it plugged into the HDMI port, and the TV is set to HDMI on that port and it still doesn't work , send the cable back, and pay a little more for a better cable; that's what I did.

I have exaclty the same problem. I've had comcast at with this tv, and wide screen option was availabe at my old address (using HDMI cable) but at my new home, it's now grayed out. I believe it may have something to do with the comcast reciever. Can not find a FORMAT option on my cable box remote. It does have a position picture adjust option under the menu but that does not solve the issue as it just helps you move a slightly left ,right, up .or .down. I'm geting a 32 inch picture on a 53" TV. Totally SUCKS!Samsung forman suggested

I would try a different HDMI port on the TV. Some tv ports are not equal to others in the earlier TVs. The message sounds like a TV issue.

Helen, where is your TV and antenna located. If your TV is inside of a cabinet, this would cause you not to receive all the TV station signals. Also, if someone can help you find a Customer Service number in the manual, I would give them a call and they could try to work with you by phone to get the problem resolved. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure since our model is different. Have you checked with Sharp or where you purchased your TV? Wish I could have helped.

Yes, I did! On the short side, where the power plug goes in, there is a half-moon shaped hole with nothing in it. My tv screen is rolling and I think the dip switches are supposed to be in the hole, so I could switch to NTSC. Do you have the rolling screen problem too?

Try hooking up to the tv first. The computer should recognize the recommended format and resolution. If that don't work then it could be your graphics card on your computer is outdated if your tv is a newer model.

mine just plugs directly into the back of the TV, then you just turn it a bit till you get your channels, and also run the channel scan on your menu. If all your channels don't show up, turn the antenna a bit more then rescan til you get all the channels you want.

Anyone got any other calibration settings. Ryans settings are great but I find the colors to be a little bit dead, also Netflix on PS3 does not look the best even on X-High compared to my 720p LG. Nvm problem solved they look nice its just some HD streams look worse then others. Also presume your not suppose to be standing right next to the TV while watching :o.I raised the color settings and lowered the black level to make the picture have more color.Thanks Ryan!
