Using any Digital camera: point the remote control at the digital camera lens. Now press any key on the remote control. On the camera’s digital screen you should now see the remote control infra-red sender flashing. If you can’t see any flashing or just a very dim flicker, you will need to change the remote’s batteries. If new batteries do not solve the problem you need to replace your remote control.

Make sure the dish mountings are secure and are not moving in the wind. Check that obstacles such as trees are not moving back and forth in front of the satellite dish.
This is mainly due to a weak signal. Check that the signal strength and quality are ok.
Check the signal quality and strength are ok and that the dish is the correct size to receive the desired signals. A slight dish misalignment could cause a large reduction in signal strength. Check the satellite cable quality and length. A long cable could cause significant signal loss. A signal amplifier/booster would help correct this.
Ensure the dish is aligned with the selected satellite correctly, e.g. Astra 28.2E. A very slight misalignment can cause a loss of channels.
Check that the Satellite dish/LNB setup and all cables are connected correctly. Make sure the dish is not pointing at any obstructions i.e. trees, tall buildings ect. Ensure your location is within the footprint of the desired satellite transponder.
Go to the ‘SETUP’ option in the main menu and select ‘Channel Management’. Select any channel and press the ‘Red’ key on the remote control to delete.
Note: It is not possible to watch one channel while recording another. All recording options are explained in the TV manual.
There are no codes available for the Sky remote controls, however due to a high demand from customers Ferguson have developed a new remote control design which is supplied with the current range of TV’s as well as being available to purchase directly from Ferguson. This modern design will work with all 73 and 51 series LCD TV’s that use the RC08 and 09 remote handset and will operate the following satellite boxes:
All Ferguson TV’s adhere to a stringent standard regarding picture quality. LED screens are made up of over nine million pixels and in very rare cases it may be possible to notice pixels which do not perform perfectly. Due to this common phenomena Ferguson use the following criteria to establish warranty replacement.
Pixel Colour | Quantity | Exchange |
Black | 3 | Yes |
White | 3 | Yes |
Sub (Green, Blue or Red) | 7 | Yes |
Some of the earlier TV’s use an external power adaptor in this case the TV does not come equipped with a power off function, the only way to turn the TV off is by the switch at the mains socket.
Green button feature: Some models have this facility where there is 2 buttons on the remote control:

Pixelation of the picture often is caused by poor signal quality. To ensure your digital signal quality is of the best you need to ensure you are using an outdoor aerial suitable to receive digital television signals. You may require an aerial upgrade but we advise that you consult with a professional aerial contractor who will know reception levels in your location.

One of the noticeable differences from analogue signal to digital is the way that the channels and on screen display (menu features) appear with a slight delay. This is quite normal due to way that this digital signal is being transmitted and received by the TV. The easiest way to explain this is to think of the digital signal as computer data and your TV has to read this data before converting this back to pictures and sound.
The majority of the TV’s are HD ready via a HDMI socket on the rear of the TV which enables connection of external HD devices. It is advised to check the specifications before purchasing.
To view channels correctly, a signal must be received by the set from one of the following sources:
Ferguson recommend the use of an outdoor Aerial suitable for receiving digital television transmissions. The use of an indoor or portable aerial is most likely to result in loss of full digital service as the quality of the digital signal may be impaired. It is advisable to consult a professional aerial installer if in doubt.
All Ferguson TVs are designed to use the power cables that are supplied with them. Even though a selected few models are supplied with an external power adaptor which do convert 240 – 12 volts it is always advised to use this adaptor in its appropriate manner. If a TV were to be connected directly to a 12 volt source incorrectly (Battery source) it is possible to damage the television which will inevitably void the warranty.
The majority of Ferguson LED TV’s have the facility of connecting as a monitor via the VGA socket, however it is best to check the specifications of each model. Connecting to a laptop is a different matter though due to laptops being configured to use their own screen. As every laptop is different it is recommended that the consumer seeks advice from a Computer Specialist before connection.
The majority of Ferguson TV’s are wall mountable. On the rear of the TV there will be holes where the wall mounting bracket can be fitted.
Please look at descriptions on product pages for VESA sizes.
