I just bought a second-hand TV with a Philips remote 32PFL3403D/12. After scanning for channels, I found 38 channels, but I can't access any of them; it displays: unsupported video format. What can I do to fix this problem? Thank you.

    Good evening,
    This television, lacking a compatible MPEG4 tuner, has become obsolete since April 5, 2016, the day the broadcasting standard switched from MPEG2 to MPEG4.
    Excerpt from https://www.lcd-compare.com/televiseur-PHI32PLF3403D-PHILIPS-32PFL3403D.htm 
    HD TNT :
    Since April 5, 2016, in France, the channels of TNT are broadcast in a format NOT compatible with the PHILIPS 32PFL3403D.


    Therefore, it is necessary to invest in an HD MPEG4 TNT decoder (20€ to 30€) to connect to the television with an HDMI cable.
