      This Sceptre display does not support QAM. You’ll need a cable box in order for the display to work correctly. Make sure you have a HDMI cable connected to the cable box and to the display. Afterwards turn on the display and cable box and make sure your display’s source is HDMI.

    • S
      sanchezkelseySep 23, 2025
      Make sure you are not using yellow video cable connecting to the YPbPr’s green port. If you are you’ll need to use AV as your source instead of YPbPr.
