Because, as others have pointed out, you get what you pay for. You bought a no-name TV and are SHOCKED that it doesn't perform as reliably as a top-of-the-line, name-brand unit. That's why these things are cheap, because they don't do fancy things. The fancy things they claim to do are often huge stretches (no pun intended), and still often don't work at all.

If something's too good to be true, it usually is.
