My Bell TV for Condos has picture but I cannot change channels

Possible reasons why

  1. You may be tuned into the wrong channel.
  2. You may be using the wrong remote for the receiver.

What to do

  1. Change your batteries.
  2. Look at the back of your remote or use the checklist below to verify your Bell Satellite TV channel setting. Note: This information can also be found in page 2 of your Bell TV for Condos User Guide.
  3. Each TV in your home is programmed to a different channel. For example, the TV in your living room would be on Channel 3, your second TV would be on Channel 8, and if you had a third TV it would be set on Channel 13. Check to see if you are tuned into the right channel.

In the room where the set-box is located, your TV and VCR channel should both be set to Channel 3 or 4.

For each additional location, your TV and VCR should be set to either 8, 12 or 13 – depending on the area where you live. Refer to the following guide to set yours correctly.

Toronto Area Ottawa Area Montreal Area
TV1 and VCR1 3 or 4 3 3
TV2 and VCR2 8 8 8
TV3 and VCR3 13 12 13

Use the original TV remote (or the controls on your TV) to tune your TV to the correct channel.
Follow a similar procedure if you are watching a video.
