José Rocha Morais 05-01-2020
I'm from Cape Verde, where DTT is still being tried out. I have a Sony Bravia KDL-26P3000 LCD Television. When I tune in to digital channels, I see the list of available channels, I search for a certain channel, I get audio but I don't get video, and I get a message on the screen saying "selected program is not tuned". I would appreciate it if you could give me some explanation on this matter.

How do I measure the inches of my LCD television? Verified

Measuring the inches on your LCD television is done by measuring the diagonal distance between for example the upper left corner and the lower right corner of the screen (not the edge). One inch equals 2,54 centimeter, so when you measure 99 centimeter, this means your LCD television is 39 inches.

How can I properly clean my LCD television? Verified

Turn off the television and wipe dust and dirt off the screen with a microfiber cloth. Do not use paper, this can cause scratches. Do not apply too much pressure or you might cause damage to pixels. Use a specialized detergent or make one by mixing 1 part vinegar with 1 part water. Moisten the cloth with the detergent and clean the screen. Make sure the cloth is not too wet. Remove stains by making rotating movements. Dry the screen with a second microfiber cloth to prevent stripes.
