Default TV reception problems

We would be grateful if anyone as any ideas to solving our problem.

We have recently moved from the UK to St Vincent and theGrenadines in
the West Indies, our TV worked with the local broadcast channel, but
now that we have installed cable tv, we are only getting sound with 3
of the 40+ channels.

The cable company were not able to offer any sensible suggestions,
other than purchase a local TV!

I have been advised of a number of possible issues, which may or may
not be relevant, any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated.

1. that this is due to a PAL NTSC incompatability issue - if this was
true, why are we recieveing 3 channels with pic and sound, and why
were we able to recieve perfectly the local broardcast channel.

2. that the signals we are getting with sound are antena channels,
which is why we also recieved the local station - if this is true, how
do we change the TV set-up to recieve cable?

My TV is a Philips 23" TFT wide screen, model 23PF9945/12, purchased
arround 2003.


Many thanks
