I have an hd lg tv and don't know how to get it to show in hd?

Using your TV remote, press the "Menu" button and navigate to the "Setup" or "Settings" menu. Look for the "Reset" option and select it.

check that the hdmi lead is good, if it is check that its outputting a signal that is not too high for the tv. i.e. if the lg is outputting 1080p can your tv show 1080p just because the tv is HD ready, doesnt automatically mean it can show 1080p try setting the lg to 720p or lower to see if anything shows on the tv

Any chance you are using a box with this set for signal?

There is quite a lot you can do. Go to menu, picture settings and select user 1. From here you can adjust everything from colour to contrast to warmth to sharpness. The best thing to do is to switch to XD manual adjustment and make sure the mpeg noise reduction is set to max. This removes artifacts and gives a better picture. Oddly, connecting via SCART rather than HDMI will give a more watchable picture if the HD broadcast is't at a very high bit-rate.

On your sky remote select interactive button, go too customer services and select option 5 , setting up sky remote, you should be able to find lg codes to try there. If not then try the internet for codes. You may have to wait though I didnt get my code for 6 months after getting new tv, but dont give up.

OK. For all you regular Joe's like me here's the fix--plain and simple! I have Dish Networks HD receiver, an LG Home Theater System (LHB953) and an LG HD Television - although I suspect this applies for most LG TV-to-LG Audio Systems used in combination with a HD TV). My problem lied within the LG to LG setting known as SIMPLINK which tries to "auto-configure" everything between LG to LG devices.

Do this to make your HD TV (using Dish/DirecTV) play it's HD video display from the satellite provider but play the audio over the LG surround sound speakers:

1. Plug a HDMI cable from your satelite receiver's set-top-box to your HD TV. This will carry your HD "video" ONLY. Click "Input" on the TV remote until the HD video signal shows your desired TV channel from your satellite provider.

2. Plug an HD Optical cable (the one with the red laser) from your LG HTS (Home Theater System) to your satellite box. This will carry your HD "audio" ONLY.

3. This is the magic everyone seems to be overlooking. On the LG TV remote, go into the menu options and disable SIMPLINK by setting SIMPLINK=OFF. This feature allows the video and audio signals to be split over 2 different ports: HD video goes over the HDMI cable and the audio to go over the HD Optical cable.

Hope this helps!

Connect your component cables to the DTV connections.

Had this happen on a Comcast box (Motorola DCT 6416 III)
Here's how to fix it:
Turn the cable box off, leave fully connected. Press Menu on the remote
The cable box internal menu will display (Not the Comcast one the Motorola one-- i.e. Display ratios-16:9 etc It's in black and white)
Use the arrows to cursor to the Closed Captioning and toggle to "Disabled" Press Manu again to exit and Voila!

Power the box on an have at it

Have you made sure the box is set to send a HDTV signal to your LG? Example 720p, 1080i, or 1080p? You usually have to set the resolution in the v+.
