Hi @winzy54, welcome to the Community.

Can you let us have the model number of the TV?

Thanks

Mick

My tv model is: KD-65XF9095.
Software version is: PKG6.5629.0177EUA
I have this problem when I watch live TV using an app. And I can’t use the numbers as it changes to analog tv when I press a number.

Hi Winzy54,

Well, I don't think this is a feature that you can enable/disable as a user. Your best bet is to contact the app developer as they'll need to have a workaround for this feature.

All the best,

Hi.

The programmer already tried to workaround it. But with no luck.

Can anyone share a possible workaround that i could share with the developer.

Thanks for the help
