If you have purchased an Alba TV, you should already know that is in fact not a smart TV, so no streaming apps would be able to be downloaded.
If however, that is something you would like to have access to on your TV device, the Alba TV does support a streaming stick like an ‘Amazon Firestick’ that you can plug in the back of your TV to give you all the necessary streaming apps, like Netflix.
With your Alba TV not being a smart option, it is crucial that your signal works at its finest level to ensure you are able to pick up all the best channels.
So why is Alba TV saying no signal?
Your HDMI cable or port may be faulty, or the cables are connected too loosely. If you are using the incorrect source or input on your TV, you won’t be able to pick up the channels on your screen.
Try swapping your cables to a different port and make sure your aerial is not damaged.
If your Alba TV is trying to search for the channels ‘Over the Air’, you will need to change this to ‘Cable Channels’ which can be updated in the menu section of your TV.
