Bedroom Jensen TV

The remote control no longer works for the Jensen TV in the bedroom. Tried a universal one and can not program it to work either. Looks like the TV sensor is bad. Has anyone else had this issue. It's a 2010 3150RL.

Fasanjager - I had that issue with my jensen in the bedroom. Turned out I had several sets of bad batteries. Now I can't get any channels manually or with auto tune. Looks like a replacement is necanessary.

I wanted to replace it with a standard flat panel TV but no 115 volts to that area. Bummer!

We have had no problems; maybe going to Jensen direct will get you a new remote.

I haven't used the Jensen TV very much in the last two years until recently. I moved it to the basement and used the mini-converter on 110v with it. Often I found it stubborn to change channels with the remote. You really had to be lined up with it and press the remote keys hard down with a finger nail. I replaced the batteries, no help. I just figured it was a pia to operate. As a side note, for whatever reason, on auto program, the Jensen picks up a few more channels than the LR TV, and the LR TV is a newer 1080 TV replaced by Keystone a few months into my warranty.

I'm going to keep it, but plan to move the 32"LR unit to the bedroom. The bureau or chest of drawers, whatever you call it, at the foot of the bed has 110v and the cable is right under the floor in the basement so I'm going to put a cable jack next to the 110v outlet in the bedroom. I've measured the LR area and can get a 40" or some 42" in there, so that's the plan. The final part of this madness is to mount an Oscillating 12v fan on the wall where the Jensen was originally in the bedroom.

Our tv just quit working totally...of course after the year warranty ran out...so we junked it and got a 24" Toshiba with dvd, which fit the space nicely in its place with the same wall hookup...we do have a 110v receptacle near by..just an idea/suggestion....yes it does away with watching tv on 12 volts without a converter...

I replaced our with a 22"LED (fits with room to spare). The 120v outlet to the left of the dresser is fed from the ceiling down a channel. I opened the wall and split the line and added a shallow box and outlet next to the window surround.

We had trouble with our Jensen finding channels when on antennae, now it appears to be fine, thanks for the heads up we will keep an eye on it.
