Hi, I'm Nathan.
Sorry to hear that you're having trouble with this but I'll do my best to help you.

The only bit of paperwork I have has this number, Toshiba 32D3863DB. I went through this information this morning.The advice I had was to remove the plug from the mains & wait 10 minutes before turning it back on again. still the DVD screen only

I would rather type so I can see the instructions

If you press the Netflix button on the toshiba remote, does it bring up the app that way?

I can see that, also iplayer & itv hub but not the Source home TV

For that you need to use the source/input button on the Toshiba remote

ok is that the button with a circle & an arrow?

Yes should be up at the very top of the remote, but should be labeled as input or source

There is no id on the button but in the in the quick start guide it id it as source. Do I go to home the press source button or just press it without any other button?

You can do it either way, from home and then select an input, or with the source button.

From where you'd select dvd, or one of the hdmi inputs for your cable/satellite

I pressed the source button & now have a wireless display screen to connect to my laptop- which I don't want. Pressed it again & now have the TV back!!

Yes, each time you press, it will cycle through the different input modes, such as video, laptop, apps, dvd, cable, etc.

Glad it is working for you!

Thank you,

Nathan

I think you have given me the missing bit of info about the source that I couldn't understand from the TV start up guide. Thanks

You're very welcome and have a nice day,
