Trying to get my new dtv converter box working. I can not get the basic sign-in program to display on the Phillips TV where we are just renting. I called the converter box manufacturer and the FCC and they both say I need to be able to tune in channel 3. However this TV just skips from channel 2 to 4. Any suggestions?

See if the box will output to Ch 4.

No it will not.

On TV, Did you manually enter 3, and will remote allow you to go to 3?

I entered 3 with the remote and received the message that "Channel 3 is not available." I have since contacted Phillips and have learned that this set is a commercial set intended for hotels. Still waiting to talk to a rep, Thanks

Just looked up your modulator, and it says it has a switch for channel 3 or 4?

Even if the modulator will attempt to select channel 3, it will not make the TV go to channel 3. I still need the remote.

And having both on 4 doesn't work?

Looking through your other post's, and found where info on the modulator says 3 or 4 selectable, usually a very small slide switch.
If getting Video and No audio through modulator, doublecheck the source of your audio.
