Samsung HD TV Will Not Connect To Cable Box
We just bought a new Samsung HD Smart TV? Took forever to hook up to our Xfinity Box. Yesterday lost stations on that TV. Xfinity said the box was bad and we had to get a new cable box. We are on the 2nd one today and can not get it to connect to the TV. Says no signal.
ANSWERS:
"Hi Tammy, okay...I've seen the responses with all kinds of needless questions so I will make this really easy!
1/. Just plug in the HDMI plug you got from cable box to HDMI port to TV... Use the HDMI 1 port on TV please for this step. After you plugged in both sides of the HDMI to its proper places then plug in box electrical wire to get power! Before turning on cable box turn on the TV and use the remote to get to the setting of the TV where u can see which channel line u are needing to use to get reception feed which should be HDMI 1.
Now once this is done turn on cable box... and wait till it goes through its setup! It would also be a good thing to make sure that the cable wire is in the right place for me its the back center of my box but for u it can be on the far left because there are two places on the xfinity box u can screw the cable two which could be the simple problem... as the TV and Box are both on try screwing on to either and give a few seconds for each to see if you get picture it should eventually work try the far left plug first though! And good luck!"
Weird,when just used the HDMI cable the pic wasn’t that good. So I also plug in my coax cable also. Now I’m not having ANY bad pics. It comes in really clear. (USA, Xfinity).
We had Comcast Xfinity technician install our service: tv cable box and wifi router. Everything worked well day one. Day two, no tv channels. Called Comcast and Kelly tried to reboot cable box remotely, but unsuccessfully. She scheduled an appointment for a technician to come to our home, and suggested using Xfinity streaming app (free) to watch tv over Internet. Before I could download the app, I had to manually set up the wireless connection from my Samsung tv to my Xfinity wifi router (SSID and password) using my Samsung remote. After doing so, magically, my tv channels reappeared. Everything working fine now.
