Hi,

Sounds like the tuner is faulty or if its a seperate module the cables might have worked themselves loose, the video/mainboard is ok as its still able to produce an image.

If your up for it whip the back off and checks the cables as there is not much inside these models and a cable could have worked itself loose.

If everything looks fine inside, reset the Plug and Play settings and if that doesn't sort it out, then I would personally not worry about it as a seperate freeview and sky box is more than work well if not better.

Thanks

what was the need to replace capacitors. if so on which circuit? Hope you have replaced the right value and type of the capacitor. Observe whether soldered points getting into other pcb track. Clean them again and give a try.

In the US, you are not able to obtain free HD channels without a tuner and an antenna. Some HDTV's have built in tuners and depending on your location to the broadcasts, you may be able to obtain reception. It is possible that one of your TVs has a built in tuner if it is newer and this other TV does not. Analougue channels no longer exist as all channels have been converted to digital broadcast and would need to be converted if trying to view through an analogue TV. Thanks.
