Why is "Channel up" on my TV remote jumping to channel 700 when press

Every time I press “channel up" it jumps to channel 700 (radio) regardless of what channel I start on. If I continue pressing it after that, it scans up as normal, until it reaches the first TV channel, and then it goes back to channel 70/ again. I have a 10 month old daughter, so I suspect she's pressed something on the remote. Everything else works fine.

Is this a good question?

Hi,

What is the model number of the TV?

Click ‘List’ (the button symbol is three horizontal lines, kind of like a cheeseburger symbol). Change the setting in the drop down from ‘Antenna Radio Channels’ to ‘All Satellite Channels’

I found an answer, on my Mum's TV remote there is a language button, pressing it brings up the word English on the TV, pressing OK brings up a menu that defines the channels for the channel up and down buttons. Who knew that was there! It is very well hidden.

Once I found it fixing it was simple.

I've been pulling my hair out for weeks and you've only gone and sorted it for me, I would never have found that, worked 1st time, thank you so much Mandy.

It's a terrible design to put that menu item there, glad you are fixed now.

Thanks this helped for my Sharp Aquos Smart android TV, I had the same. Whilst in a TV or radio channel press MTS > language displays e.g. English > press ok then hit < left or right > until you see “all channels” at the top of the panel.

Channel changers generally have a favorites position. It may be in that mode now.
