Does anybody have a problem having a scanning channel problem with their Seiki tv? If so, I heard there is a lock code? What is that Lock code?

this tv is a piece of crap, everyone who ever got one had the same problem, it now discontinued so even if they give you the code to unlock it / it still wont work. I just returned mine what a pain

I don't know for sure, but mine does not work on ours...it is an LG but I don't know which model. It only works for the Seiki TV that we have. Sorry.

When I first got my unit it happend to me several times, then I realize that it was my menu. Make sure you settings are correct on your TV menu, check and make sure your Antenna box is checked and not the cable box on your menu. What I have learned is that when you have a Box connected to your TV, you need to only use the BOXES remote not the one for the tv. I only turn on the TV with that remote, from that point on I only use the Converter box remote. I stopped having that problem when I when to that method.

It mostly stays on the same channel. At times, if I'm trying to change to channel 209 for example, it would only ready one of the numbers and change to channel 2 or 9 instead. After multiple times trying, it usually works. But there are times where the effort is not really worth it.

Oops... I did the same thing. This is a dumb device - with a mechanical memory - only knowing 1 combination. I ended up cutting the cable. - Good news, it's a good lock - it was difficult to cut. I replaced with a number lock - I can remember -better. Sorry, Jim

I suggest testing it on a different tv. I have a Sanyo that responds to my Android stick that way though it works perfectly in Seiki and Vizio brands.

Just point and ZAP. It is fastest with Sony TVs. Once you press the button, the device will cycle through dozens of codes. Be patient and discreet. Have FUN!!

I have had my TV two days. I love everything about it except that it has this memory loss problem. I am somewhat relieved to hear others have the same issue. It means I won't bother to get a replacement. But in fact I see no alternative in the market so will probably just keep this and bear with resetting stations. I think we should all be contacting Haier, however, to assure that they fix this thing in future models

What function are you performing? Are you scanning for channels? Do you have something plugged into the USB port, such as a hard drive or thumb drive? Try unplugging the set and plugging it back in. I've never had the problem, and have owned this model for over a year. Contact JVC to see what they advise you and to find out if you have any warranty coverage. Another thing it could be is your cable or satellite television box having a problem, if that's what your TV is hooked up to. It may be the cable/sat box that is displaying that message. Try the box on another TV, if you have one. Also, make sure your cable box or antenna is hooked up properly to your TV. Sometimes the coax cable attached to the TV gets loose and the TV can't find the broadcast signal.

Hey, I had the same problem with an LN55C650 and even with a new panel it did it. So the tech got on the phone and called and was told about the service bulletin and cut jumper number p854 on the 55" and that fixed it. So the new panel came back out but I got my tv fixed. Yay!!!

Hello DFW Guy! As you probably know, the TVGuide service provided by the third party company Rovi was completely dropped around April of 2013 so you'll never have that week-long programming guide. That being said, having only 1/3 of the channels info come up on the EPG that is individually broadcast on each channel seems slimmer than usual & I've had that actually happen to me too. What I found helpful is to do a complete factory reset (not just a power cycle) & when you start the setup process asks you for the zip code for the TVGuide program guide, enter in "00000" rather than your actual zip code. I believe this will stop the system from trying to get program info from that service & will only defer to the EPG guide. Also after the setup process is complete, the second area you want to disable the TVGuide option is in the Menu&gt;Preferences&gt;Guide Display and then select "disable" under the TVGuide section. Hope that helps!

Hi Andre.That was a number of months ago - did they ever "update" the TV, and did that solve the "lip sync" issue? I seem to be very sensitive to lip sync issues- I notice them all the time - if any channel is off by a fraction of a second, it really annoys me.

It seems you have been given the same response with contact Seiki.com via contact us send an email or simply call and ask for a replacement over the phone for the the SB201C sound bar. I see there is another on Amazon for $44 so the remote should cost under $12. Ask if a Seiki TV remote would operate the sound bar since I see those listed on Amazon.

Aloha, haven't had any issues with mine either. I can only think of basic things like, checking ID for all your units, try splitting different groups and see if one group works and one doesn't, if you have two flashes test to see if you can use one flash as master instead of the ST E3 and see if that combo works then swap them around to make the others masters that would isolate your ST E3. That's all I got. :-)

The serial # won't always help. I found out the hard way. If the box belonged to someone with an outstanding acccount Direct TV wont give you the access card that you also have to pay for to get your box working. They'll make you pay any outstanding balance before selling you the code card with the microchip in it. My ebay bargain ended up in the garbage.

I have used mine on my houseboat for over a year. Once it is locked, it stay's locked....make sure the actual unit does not slide around... I tie mine down, but I have not had signal problems to date and both TV's work.

No special code . Specs state that inputs include ATSC and NTSC signals, so I am guessing that you scan one mode or the other. Colombia off-the-air TV probably is not mandatory HDTV format as in the USA.Note that Colombia is very mountainous and this TV requires a good signal strength - only get that in downtown areas, not goonies. Been there many times.
