I noticed this, too. I simply left the model pulldown at "2 series" and then filled in my SN when registering online. Seems like it went through, though I didn't get an e-mail verification (dunno if I was supposed to). I imagine I should call and see if I'm actually registered.

You can set up a PIP window through the 237T menu and then initiate another PIP with the Comcast remote, giving you 3 on screen windows. Fun stuff!

It is having the same problems as the display model did. I cannot get auto channel search or most other menu options to work. The other day I hooked up a crappy antenna to the display so I could pick up some local HD channels. When I tried to start the Auto Channel Search nothing happened. When I used the same button presses on the 26, 32, and 42 inch versions the Auto Channel Search started up fine. Now my TV is exhibiting the same problems. I can get to the option in the menu but I can't select it. For the first few minutes my TV was plugged in it was working fine. I fooled with the aspect ratio settings while watching Happy Feet off my PS3. Then I switched to s-video for the SNES. It was in nasty stretched mode and I pressed the aspect ratio button, the screen blinked, and it stayed on what it said was full screen. At some point during my playing with the menus I did hit restore factory defaults.

Has anyone been having similar problems with thier 237T?

I checked Olevia's website and the 237T doesn't have any firmware upgrades available.

I hope I don't have to return this thing cause it was a great deal.
Its so much bigger then my 26" Magnavox LCD HDTV.

EDIT: What really sucks is that I don't have internet access at my new place yet and I'm posting at my parents house.

If it's the owners manual then it won't have sound. Have you tried right clicking on it to check it's files?

If you get to the menu and click on the manual, do you have Adobe installed?
