Turning TV onto AV without remote control

duncans-mum_2

My TV remote has decided to pack up (and yes I have checked the batteries!) Not the end of the world I will get another one. BUT in the meantime, I do not have a normal aeriel and all my channels come through my sky box. Sky is on the AV channel on my telly, and without my remote I cannot seem to access it. Anyone know how to do this. Have spent 2 hrs trying to watch telly and pressing loadsa buttons.

Anyone any ideas?

Have tried to download a manual by the way but no joy and I have hunted high and low and can't find my manual anywhere.

On your TV control Panel its normally the button which has a sqaurish box with a arrow point in or out[B/]. Thats normally changes the TV channel selection.

by the way if you have your Sky remote programmed you can select TV then switch it off and then on and then hit the sky button and the TV "should" automatically go to sky(AV). Thats what it does with my TV anyway.

Have you programmed your sky remote for your telly? If so press 'TV' then 'Help' on your Sky remote. This should select the AV channel. If you haven't go to Sky Interactive (it's a free service) there are instructions for every make of tv to get the Sky remote to work for your tv... follow the instructions to set it up then do as I've stated above.

Either press the Sky or TV button at the top of you Sky remote or switch the Sky box off & then back on again.

Is Sky connected with a scart lead or three pins?

The sky remote isn't set up for the tv, just use tv remote and usually turn it to AV. I can go into sky interactive unfortunately because I cannot get the sky on the telly. Ijust didn't know if there was something on the tv channel programing or something to get it to work. channels go from 0-99 when i use the button on the front of the TV but not AV-1 and AV-2 that are there somewhere.

If you have the Tv make and model number you may be able to get a manual to download from the makers website. Whats the TV make and Model number.?

Hi, I tried that, on various websites offering free downloads but all kept saying they didn't have it for this one.

Thanks anyway guys, its been a quiet night anyway! I will just have to get a new remote ordered I think. I have spent hours stressing over it tonight just to watch some telly in my living room. How sad is that. I shall now go to bed early and watch some terrestrial tv on the portable.

If you're using a SCART lead the Sky Digibox normally sends a voltage signal upon switching it on which will activate the AV mode on the TV

The Sky remote can be programmed to control the TV, all you need to know is the make of the TV set then enter the code into the remote control. You can obtain further info from here
