Tuning TV's

    I picked up two 24" nokia tv's from a hotel clean out with a mind to stick them into the spare rooms at home.
    Unfortunately the remotes that came with the tellys dont, as far as I can see, have any function to allow the tuning of channels from a regular aerial. Neither do the tvs themselves have any tuning buttons.
    What can I do to get these working? Is there a remote I could buy that might do the trick?

    Any help is appreciated

    ...I don't know about this. I wonder if they "locked down" to prevent guests trying to tune in channels, and even to stop them stealing them..?

    yeah thats called hotel mode. of you google the model number of the tv, you should be able to find the manual and that will tell you how to disable hotel mode.

    Donberg Electronics in Donegal will have a repalcement remote. Just give them a ring on 074 95 48 275 or www.donberg.ie with the model number of the set.
    Maybe just get one and use it to tune both tv's?!
