No I didn't, the screen doesn't light up, and it's hooked up to rabbit ears

I was going to say that you must have Spectrum. Did you unplug it for 5 minutes and then turn it on again? We have a 40" VIZO that takes 10 minutes to display the picture. It's been a POS starting at a little over a year old. Out of warranty of course. Sometimes it has a picture but no sound. Those silly Chinese.

I just bought a 43" Vizio.

The old Poloroid has been unplugged for a while, I'll try again before I test my new trap load pattern

eta, when I smack the back a white light flashes on screen.

Old TV kept shutting itself off, it's at the shooting berm

New Smarter Than Me TV won't connect to WiFi , even though it says I'm connected to it.

I'm using tplink Archer C 1200,

I forgot where my Lipskey router went off to......................

I can't get past the login screen for my WiFi that is connected but not


WTF ever happened to plugging a TV in and connecting the dam antenna.

My problems clearly state that I'm a Boomer / Fudd.

I turned it off and on, now it's downloading updates. It only took 2 beers.

Now the darn thing is too wide to sit on the bench.

Speakers are flush with the surface, since I took the legs off that I just put on.. I wanted to see if the S.O.B. is compatible with my new Denon AV that wouldn't work with the old TV

Now it wants to restart itself. But hey, it's a "SmartCast" POS already.

Are you sure it wasn’t a BLM protest march?......

New TV is working. No instructions included. Just visit the BLM website

Did you get the NEW TV from a BLM protester/vandal/looter/thief? I heard they had plenty of big screens available. One's they didn't pawn. Selling them for cheap....a FIRE sale!

Taking TV back to WalMart. I can watch Smartcast only.

The TV won't work on antenna or computer streaming service now.

I've unplugged it a couple times trying to reboot it, but it doesn't make any difference.

the net says Vizio is North American based


eta- now the POS is working.

I'll hit the pawn shop up for a BLM special before boxing this one up.
