TV problems and solutions for the Toshiba 19BL502B

Problem: The picture is very poor on freeview. I get interference, blocks appearing, clicking sounds and a generally unwatchable picture.

Solution 1: This sounds like a poor signal. Go into the menu and see if you can check the signal strength. To solve this, you will need to either (1) Retune your TV to a more local transmitter, (2) Improve / reposition your TV aerial, or (3) Check the cable that connects your TV to the aerial - replacing this will be easier and cheaper that replacing the antenna.

Solution 1: You might need to send a separate audio cable to your TV, even if you're connecting via HDMI.

Problem: Picture has speckles or sparkles while watching.

Solution 1: This is likely to be a cable problem. Try with a different cable if you have one handy. Cheaper cables are more likely to do this, particularly if they are quite long (over 5 metres)

Problem: Picture comes on, then goes off, sometimes flickers.

Solution 1: Probably a loose cable connection. Try fiddling around with the cable while it's on and see if it helps.

Problem: The TV won't turn on.

Solution 1: First solution: check the power. Yes, I know it's obvious, but if the fuse has gone in the plug, if the cable is loose or if you've overlooked a second power switch, this might be your problem. If you have any indication of power at all (e.g. power light), you can discount this.
Alternative Solution: Is the plug in/on also have you checked the cables are in correctly (it's worth checking them over)

Problem: My tv is playing DVDs in black and whitealthough the tv channels are colour.

Solution 1: The most likely candidate is the SCART lead - either not inserted fully, or a cracked wire somewhere along it's length.
