Erm, any idea how to change TV channels when the remote control won't work?

Make sure you have the batteries in the right way round. My mum, god bless her, couldnt get her remote to work once, when i went round to see what was wrong she had batteries in incorrectly!!!!

Do you know I had a hic cup the other week with the remote and thought exactly that, how the heck do you change stations with no remote. No buttons to be seen anywhere
I think I ll google it in case now
I liked it when you a 'seeable' alternative on the tv

Part of the trim at the bottom edge lifts up on my panasonic - you can't see it just feel for it.

You are not missing anything so don't worry

Thank you all for responding, appreciated as always.

Himself has reappeared, post huff and is now back in charge of the TV.

I am going to leave him to it, bath and book beckon!

There apps to let you control your tv from your phone. One is called universal TV remote control. Hubby has one on his phone.

Ours are almost impossible to locate down the side but they're there.

Have you thought of googling the make and see if there are some instructions online. YouTube has just about everything.

Turn the TV round and use a torch to search all around edge. Ours are tucked right in and need a flippin pencil to push.

There will be buttons somewhere. usually hidden on the edge of the tv. Very small, though. The suggestion to Google is a good one. I nearly committed murder when minding Littlest when the remote vanished and there was an urgent need for Fireman Sam. Once I found the very small buttons normal service was resumed. Good luck. You can do it!

Buy a new remote! It may be the best answer, and go tv less this evening.

Thanks all, can't find any buttons, Mr P has gone off in a huff after changing the batteries didn't work, I'm attempting to stay calm and see if I can sort it. Ha!

Oh I live in dread of that happening!

Must remember to ask one of my GDs how to do it next time they're here - they're bound to know!

I don't have a clue..... Do you have an instruction manual anywhere?

Or Google the make and model of your television for instructions?

Good luck with that 'un

Gently draw your fingers all around the TV frame there maybe some very small control buttons .
Are you linked up to DVD box you maybe able to change channels with DVD remote.
We have BT vision and can use that to change channels
Good luck

Aren't there buttons on the tv?
