Problem for Toshiba 3387DB TV

OT : Weird problem tuning TV




By Joey2 - usenet poster

This is a odd problem, all of a sudden BBC1 has seemingly untuned itself and
i cant get it tuned in again.
To look at the picture at present it has kind of green/red blotches visible
in a kind of snowy effect on the screen. First of all i thought it must be
the coax but no, ITV1, BBC2, C5 & C4 all have absolutely perfect pictures.
I tried the auto retune on my TV and it went through all the channels and
locked onto them... except BBC1 which it just skipped, so i tried a manual
retune just on BBC1 and couldn't get any better picture than described
above.
It gets even stranger when BBC1 on my ITV Digital box looks perfect, as do
all the rest of the channels, so that rules out both coax and the arial.
TV is a Toshiba 3387DB

Any ideas?

Have you recently plugged in a DVD player, VCR or ITVD box?

If so the output channel of one of these could be interfering with
BBC1.

Nope none of those, the only thing i've done is go behind the TV to paint
the wall, but then again i've checked that i didn't stand on any connections
and reseated them.
I cant understand how only BBC1 is affected, and only thru terrestrial and
not ITVD (which comes thru the arial as well)

i have something similar with my sanyo video. all 5 'normal' channels (well
maybe channel 5 isn't exactly normal) tune in fine on the tv (although
reception through the rooftop aerial isn't great - wish they would come and
install cable in out area) and all tune in fine on the video except for
channel 4, even though the picture received for channel 4 is a lot clearer
than that for bbc1 and channel 5 for example... have tried fine tuning the
video but with no success. it used to work fine but then just stopped
earlier this year. if i video stuff on channel 4 now the picture comes
across fine but the sound keeps on cutting in and out. most annoying...
programs on other channels video fine. any ideas anyone?
