I have an INSIGNIA tv.........?

Question

Ok, I work in a hotel. All the tv's are INSIGNIA brand. We have 58 rooms and 8 of those rooms are suites. We bought all the first 58 tv's when we opened a year ago. then about 4 months ago went and bought the same exact tv so the suites would have two tv's.
the problem is, on the new tv's we get music choise channels and not on any of the other tv's. I have tried reprograming them to see if that would work and it doesn't. There is also no difference in the cable set up of the reg. rooms compaired to the suite rooms. the cable is only split to reach over to the new tv.
Anyone know what I can do to get the music channels. or is it just something we gotta live with.
I also thought about switching the tv's to see if maybe its a newer tv that just looks the same.

any help would be good but i'm not counting on it. LOL!

thank you.

Answer 1

I'll BET that the NEW TV's have the built-in ATSC DIGITAL TUNER and the older ones don't have the ATSC tuner....only the NTSC Non-Digital tuner.....

There are some channels that only come in with an ATSC Hi Def tuner.....

Answer 2

Not sure what your setup is but here is a suggestion.

The Music Channels might be on what is called Cable Channels. Many older TV models default to the Antenna or Over the Air Channels. This results in a different tuning for all channels higher than 13.

In plain English, Channels 2 through 13 are the same no matter what. But depending on where the menu is set up for the tuning Antenna (over the air) or Cable, channels 14 through 69 for Antenna have nothing in common with Channels 14 through 69 for Cable which usually adds Channels 1 and 70 through 125 (these are the numbers for the United States only, all other countries which do not use a similar system have their own numbers).

So make sure the old sets and the new sets are all on the same setting AIR/Antenna or CABLE.

Answer 3

YEP, I agree with Ken.
Make sure the new TVs are set to tune cable channels.
