Well that's encouraging, hopefully you can get it sorted once you are able to travel.
Hi, sorry for resurrect such an old thread, but I have the same problem of Easy365.
I've created a post here on the hisense subforum, with no answer (maybe because this is an english forum and english speaking people in UK and USA don't have this problem) and also in an Italian forum, with no useful answer, because Italy. (I'm Italian btw)
First, Easy365 unfortunately is wrong:
The location is
NOT detected from IP
Also channel search
IS definitely possible without internet connection.
I also have found that record ability depend from the location, and also I've tried several attempt to change it from the user menu.
also tried with factory reset, connected or disconnected from the net. no luck
Now I've found the
service menu.
Service menu is a feature not publicly disclosed
Warning: changing the setup in service menu can damage your device
in order to open the service menu on Hisense Tv
Hit menu on the remote
Tap right to enter the full menu
Scroll down to sound
Tap right and select Advanced Audio Settings
Scroll down and highlight the Balance slider, make sure it is on 0
Enter 1969 on your remote
The menu will disappear and a green "M" will appear at the top left
Hit menu on the remote, this time a service menu will appear
You can navigate the options and see the parameters
I explored the options on service menu and I found that my Tv has a Hungary set as country, weird since I live in Italy (probably an importer mistake)
I was thinking: by changing this setting, for example to UK could I enable recording?
Can changing the location in the service menu lead to malfunctions?
