There are unfortunately areas where tv channels are limited. For example, Dorset has something like 27 available channels. If you're in the U.K., check Freeview coverage for your post code. (Using a search engine).

You should have other button options on the side or bottom of your tv. Check all over for more buttons and find the one that is the menu option button.

There should be an input button on the tv to allow you to switch between dvd, tv and any other device you have connected.

Hi troberson58,
Try pressing the input button on the remote control until it finds the right input. Also if there is a PIP (Picture in Picture ) button try pressing it. Let me know if this helps and please rate this solution. lone99star Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jason_77a19afa8d604dee

It sound like you have the sleep timer on or something have a look in the menu setting for sleep timer

check the capacitors on your power supply and replace any that are puffed on top

I think this might be bad/swollen capacitors in your power supply, or something odd in the +5VDC circuits of the power supply, but I am posting all of the things I have found so far with these TVs.

Here are few possible solutions:
If you have no red light and you have a Megmeet MLT386 power supply, check these parts:
1) Swollen caps on the PS secondary circuit (may cause the red light blink or shutdown problems).
2) Blown fuse F1 (5A/250V) this is caused by a shorted FET at QA1 (20N60), you may also find that SMT cap CX23 is burned up (.001uf) which is in parallel with diode DA2 which may be damaged/shorted, replace these components.
If the power LED goes from red to green when powered up but no picture, then it might be lost +24VDC from the power supply:
3)Check fuse F2 (3.15A/250V, I put a 5A in), if it is blown, replace FET at QA2A (9N50C), replace QA2 as well (9N50C). Check SMT resistors at R233,R234,R235,R236 (.47 ohm). If open, replace with .1 ohm 1W or 2W resistor (easier to source). Also replace SMT transistor QF1 (2X4 or 2N4401 NPN transistor). And replace diodes at DS2 and DS1 (HER207), DS2 was shorted, DS1 was ok but I replaced it anyway.

I dont know as much about the Megmeet MLT169A, but it has similar problems and similar components.
4) I had to replace all of the capacitors in the secondary circuit (there are six in a 3x3 row marked EC9 (1000uf35V),EC10(1000uf35V),EC14(470uf35V) and EC18,EC19,EC20 (all 1000uf35V).

OK for the Megmeet MLT169A with red flashing LED when turned on we found that IC7 was bad. This is an SMT component on the solder side of the power supply. It is a 4407P (P channel 30V MOSFET). For testing purposes, we jumped across it to feed +5V to the TV permenently instead of allowing +5V to go into standby.

Take the cable off and look at the connector. If there is a copper wire in the center that doesn't come quite to the edge of the connector, it means the cable isn't going on tight enough. (That wire has ti insert itself into the connecter on the back of the TV.) It could be too short, it could be bent over (you can straighten that out with a pair of tweezers, but that sounds like the problem to me,,,a bad connection somewhere in the able connection.
