Digital channels tuning problem: Any similar problems and/or solutions out there?

During the Quick Setup it asks you if your using an antenna or cable input. Make a choice and complete the setup. It will then scan the cable for the channels. I am not aware of the any black bands other than those created to fill in the right and left of the picture. Use the "view mode" to increase the size of the picture (stretch). I hope this helped.

Try pushing the buttons to the right of the inputs. One controls the input and the other controls the number of channels the device outputs. I hope this helps, otherwise your device is probably doa

There may be a problem with the remote transmitting to the receiver I had the same problem with mine. They are on two different frequencies.

I just ran through the SW bands again - it is now 9:30ish pm ET and I got 25 good stations. Either my location is better, or my radio is just a lucky example and the quality control was not good. My USB and SD card slots work - both in stereo. I am sorry yours isn't performing as well.

Actually, that's what I'm using it with right now. Pulled it out of storage, got a second cable box, have it set to E1 instead of using its own tuner (to avoid any issues with channels changing unexpectedly again) and pulling in the channels via the cable box instead. Works fine using it that way.

We have the same problem, despite having isolated which band was best for our location. It seems that doing the auto search function will sometimes solve this issue, which appears to have something to do with compression cutting out a weak signal. The only real solution I've found is to keep them on the stage very close to the performer, fresh high quality batteries, and check the frequencies often (right before show etc...)

Thanks for the kind response. Unfortunately, none of the efforts resulted in this TV to scan all digital and analog channels under the same "digital and analog channel search" function.Amazon.com support was excellent in sending a new replacement with just a simple phone call, as this unit apparently has a faulty tuner.

They ran out and sent me a kdc-mp355u instead but it should be the same. Hold down the numbers to set a station and use the arrows to tune it

I had the same issue except with satellite tv. Seems to me it was a matter of having the unit tuned to either ch. 3 or 4. I think I called their not so helpful help desk.

We use a high gain antenna and signal amplifier in a marine application with this unit. Channel tuning while the boat is moving is not very good. I spoke with a local car audio company and they indicated that this is a common problem with all digital TV tuners. That is, they don't work very well when in motion.

Matt, thanks for posting this. I had the same question and couldn't find an answer. Is it possible that the latency the reviewer perceived is due to upconverting the signal to 1080i, and you are simply converting the analogue to digital signal without changing the resolution? I'm not clear on whether converting implies *up*converting, couldn't really find an answer... but based on your feedback I think I'll give this a shot.

What's the frequency range are you talking about? Can you manually set the desired freq?

Yes this is a problem I am having with my new system as well, same make and model. I ordered a replacement the other day. Seems to be a problem with the receiver, I wrote about it in my review.

Try changing the channels on your router. There are a lot of things that can cause interference on the default broadcast channels so you may see an improvement in speeds and reliability as well.

If you have enough separation of the channels. E.g. use ch 1for one set and ch 8 for the other. Sometimes you have other things in the 5.8gig range that cause interference. But you should be able to find two usable channels.

Perhaps. I'm about to try that myself. The biggest issue is to check to see where your digital signals are coming from. Visit here: https://www.antennasdirect.com/transmitter-locator.html to find out more.

No problem. Simply turn all units into the same channel (i.e. same frequency).
