I am your newest subscriber I was able to help my landlord fix her TV she spent $25 on one of those fancy antennas now she don't have to pay for cable she is on cloud nine thank you so much what can I do for you I'm sharing this on Twitter if you decide you ever want to come to Hawaii I am your free tour guide #Mahalo #grateful
I'm so happy to hear you were able to help your landlord out. Glad she is enjoying the free TV channels! Thanks for watching my videos and subscribing!
I never would have figured this out without your video. Thank you!
Thanks so much! My TV is a bit older w/somewhat different menus, but I was able to follow a parallel course and get the scan done. Next time you’re in Oregon I’ll buy you a beer
It’s a deal! Thanks for watching!😄
Thx bro, I used to have this type of problem back then and managed to fix it, but now I forgot how to do it until I came across this video. I really appreciate it!!!
Glad it helps! Thanks for watching!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I thought you just plug in the cable like old times and was met with snow screen. I just had a converter box go bad and was about to buy another one. The picture is better than w/ the converter box. Thanks again 👍
@@eliseocolonjr2133 You’re welcome, thanks for watching!
Here I am 8 months later I needed this thanks bro
You’re welcome, thanks for watching!
My man !!!! ,Thank you so much I was stuck would of never knew how to do this until I saw your video thanks again for the video
You’re welcome, glad you found it helpful. Thanks for watching!📡
@@NorthcoasterHobby your welcome and thanks again
I’m living like it’s 2003 still so thanks for the tutorial. I’m scanning but still didnt get any channels.
Try re-locating your TV antenna. Re-scan each time you adjust the antenna.
@@NorthcoasterHobby so, It’s not an HDTV, but I scanned it digital and was able to get the channels, but only the audio comes in now. I’m trying to get AFN channels, On a military installation. Thank you
Thank you very much for this video. I was getting super frustrated until I found this and it did the trick!
Glad it helped, thanks for watching!
my mom got a 5 year old Toshiba with the older Chorme cast still working good
Some of these older CFL lit LCD TVs are real gems. I have a Panasonic 26" from 2005 or 2006 that unfortunately doesn't have ATSC built into it but still has one HDMI port, and it has really nice picture quality with better black levels than I've seen from some modern LCD TVs. It even has a light sensor to automatically adjust contrast. Some of those older TVs actually retailed for lots of money then, I think my Panasonic was $3000 or so for 26" when now a 24" LCD TV is $125 or so at Walmart. I recently came across a 19" Sharp Aquos from 2004 (!!!) but sadly didn't pick it up, even though it was only $10 (figured it didn't have ATSC either...) and its retail price then was $5000. One of the weirdest but coolest TVs I ever came across was a 32" Toshiba from 2006/2007 or so with ATSC, but with a TV Guide menu system both for OTA TV, but also cable. It had a Cablecard slot integrated into the TV so you could use its own TV Guide menu system with cable. It was really neat but totally useless now unfortunately, and it made a lot more menus to look around in for an ATSC channel scan, but it felt like you'd be a big baller in 2006 if you had that TV.
So while newer TVs are cheaper and generally have more features, some of these old TVs have a lot better picture quality than you'd expect and they're priced at essentially nothing now. Some plasmas like the Pioneer Kuros are starting to get more expensive again, but almost nobody looks at the old LCDs when they can be quite worthwhile sometimes. You can only cheapen a product so much, and going from $3000 to $100, some stuff gets lost sometimes.
This is interesting information. I remember a friend of mine had a TV with a built in ‘TV guide’ brand channel guide. The picture quality of these older televisions seems much better in my eyes. I’ve had 2 new RCA TV’s fail, as well as the Toshibas. That’s why I will pick these TV’s up when I find them for such a good price. Thanks for your comments and for watching. 📡📡
@@NorthcoasterHobby I find newer TVs are more simply built and somewhat easier to fix, but they seemingly do break much more often. The older Toshiba 32" TV even had a cooling fan. Very tough built, but more complex for sure. A sort of hobby of mine is fixing broken LCD TVs, as long as the screen isn't cracked (then you're screwed totally, but can resell boards on ebay) usually it's just buying the board for it on ebay and plugging it in, though backlight repairs are very difficult and require a lot of care. I have 2 55"s, one 50" and one 65" that I've repaired for under $100 after getting them for free. The 65" cost $0 to repair by simply reflowing the mainboard in a toaster oven.
If you're capable of doing all this FTA satellite stuff, imo you're definitely capable of repairing these TVs. I still haven't gotten an FTA setup yet, waiting til after Christmas. Also my HOA almost certainly won't allow a big C-Band dish and my yard/house situation probably isn't the best for satellite (next to too many houses and trees) but I want to give it a try and see what happens. I've been watching some FTA channels (without knowing it) for years via IPTV so having an internetless backup would be cool. Anyway, all this satellite stuff imo is super complex, and it's been a whirlwind of hours of research just to get a basic handle on it. I think if you can do this you definitely can repair TVs this way.
If you come across a Pioneer Elite or Kuro locally and have spare cash, pick it up. They have picture quality almost as good as the modern high dollar OLEDs at a much lower cost (but higher power consumption.)
@@GilBatesLovesyou Thanks again for the comments, I will keep an eye out for those TV’s. I find used TV prices to be all over the map.
I couldn’t have done it without you! Thank you
Glad to hear, thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for the video🙏🙏🙏 I was stuck after connecting the antenna not knowing what to do but this video solved my problem thank you so much👍👍!
Glad it helped you, thanks for watching!
Thanks people really don’t know that with some smart tvs if you don’t have cable you need an hd antenna to get some channels that are free that Comcast charges for
Thanks! I was trying to find this and eventually gave up. This worked!
So glad to hear, thank you for watching!
You are heaven sent thank you ❤

Hi. I have old Toshiba TV from 2006. How to set up the channels with no remote control?
Thanks that worked!
Glad to hear!
I already have channels and looking to rescan
When I press the antenna button it just goes to the channels I already have
Skip the antenna step if you have channels scanned in already. Just go down to ‘channel program’ and press start.
Thank you
@@jenniferrosenthal7731 You’re welcome, hope it works!
Great video. Do you have to keep it connected to coax cable the whole time?
Thank you, Yes, keep the coaxial cable connected to the television at all times, or you will lose the TV signal.
@@NorthcoasterHobby ok. Thank you
@@TheUnknownLyricist 👍
Thanks bro
How do I change from analog to digital? My channel scan only looks for analog?
It should automatically scan both analog and digital, let it run completely and it will scan for both.
I tried these several times. Even before I watched the video and cannot make it work. But I am using one of those hd antennas they sell. Help please ?
What kind of antenna do you have? What area are you in?
Thank you so much
You’re very welcome!
@@NorthcoasterHobby does your TV have a spot for UBS I’m trying to plug LED lights
@@charnellemonay Yes, there is a USB slot on the left side.
@@NorthcoasterHobby ok I’ll keep looking didn’t find it yet
@@charnellemonay Maybe it’s on the back?
I have one of those TV's and I want to know is it possible to connect a fire stick to it caz ive been trying but it won't work it keeps saying no signal
Select HDMI as the input. That’s where the Firestick connects to the TV.
I don't have a remote 😢
Still cant pick up channel selection, would a metal roof interfere, I keep scanning and get nothing
If you’re using an indoor antenna, a metal roof will block the signal. Try putting your antenna near a window, or an outdoor antenna. Run a scan every time you relocate your antenna.
@@NorthcoasterHobby Thank You
@@peggyferder8834 You’re welcome, best wishes.
I don’t get a single channel after scanning
Can I program TV with no remote? 2004 model
You can either use the buttons on the TV, or try a universal remote. Though if it’s 2004 it might be an analog TV, in which case you will need a digital converter box.
@@NorthcoasterHobby Thank you! Gonna try a univ remote first.
I have coaxial. Only getting channels 51 and up.
How to by pass pin code to reset tv
The default is usually 0000.
I have did this and it says error. It wouldn't program. So what should I do
Unplug the TV. Plug it back in and follow the steps exactly.
@Northcoaster Hobby ok I will try it. If it still doesn't work then what
@@lorainepikes1180 Is your TV the same brand as the one in the video?
How can I add my wi-Fi to my Toshiba tv
Mine is from 2009
@@RetroGold19 Try a Chromecast. Plug it into the USB, connect it to wifi. You can cast streaming videos to your TV.
my remote needs reset
When scam my tv it scan to 6 an stops goes to installing again what do I need to do
Do you mean channel 6 and then it stops?
Mine ask for a pin code🤷🏾♀️
Someone must have put some kind of parental lock on it. Usually the default code is 0000, unless it was changed.
it looks like a toshiba old computer
