TV and Sky

subversive · 20-09-2012, 20:07

Hello,

I have a new Panasonic 42" TV. Its connected to a sky+ box.

It works fine, but when I turn the TV on, I have to press the blue sky button on the sky remote for it to switch to sky.

How can I have it, so that I turn the TV on and its still on sky???

We have a sony 32" lcd, which when switched on goes to sky, if sky was the last thing which was being viewed.

Do you put sky box on stand by? I'm certain that blue button also turns on the sky box. Maybe sky is just on stand by mode??

Yes we do. But during the day, we just turn the TV off and when we turn it on, it doesn't switch to sky automatically

Panasonic TV's usually have a menu option somewhere that tells the box to select the AV input on switch on. I don't have one but found it a long time ago on a friends Panny with a similar problem. Putting the sky box in sby and booting it after switching on the TV should let auto scart selection select the AV input for you.

I think some Panasonic's also have the option to start from the 'AV' (i.e. Scart) channel rather than the TV tuner - you may have to dig around in the menus to find it.

All done.

It was deep in the menu, under power on preference.

woohoooo
