Hi @ali.electro,

a white cable could be DVB-C or DVB-S (depending if you have a satellite dish on your house).

If you haven't done it yet, your TV needs to scan for channels first.

Hi @ali.electro,

your TV does support DVB-T as well, yet the cable you connected is a DVB-C cable.

DVB-T means Terrestrial and requires an antenna connected to the TV as far as I am concerned.

Hi @ali.electro,

did you check if the cable is connected properly to the TV? (At least it looks properly attached on the image you uploaded)

Also did it work with your previous TV?

yes it looks to be connected OK.

I had same TV at previous place where I lived, but there the provider was different it was comhem and i had white cable there also but it wasnt same as this ( it was something which comes along with internet connection)

I have a different provider "Boxer" here.

In my previous place it worked fine with this TV.

Hello @ali.electro,

would you mind explaining the difference between the providers?

Your old one seems to have been a cable provider, your new one is DVB-T?

Hi @ali.electro,

does Boxer need this little receiver to work (the one shown on their website)?

If not, why don't you give them a call and explain that you have problems setting your new TV up.
