I was given the above 100 MHz widescreen TV, that's in good cosmetic condition although a bit on the heavy side. I am not sure of the age of the TV, but at I guess I would say 4 years max. I can't get any signal at all, it's all snow with the channel number along with a no signal label and a countdown. The arial/coax is providing a signal - I have no problem with my existing TV. I have also tried a DVD player in one of the SCARTS, but nothing on any the AVs. In fact it doesn't appear to go to AV mode (blank screen at all, but a label suggests that I am - it's still snow. Everything else appears to be OK. I don't mind chucking money at it, but would it be worth it? It also has a band of blank screen of 4CM in hight and another band of blank screen of 2CM at the bottom.
Your going to need the original remote first. then go into the menu and do a channel search on it. if it goes through and finds no channels then the tuners bad. You could have that famous RCA on nboard tuner fault where alot of sheild grounds are bad. This is not a job for the layman. if you cannot get channels by doing a channel scan call out an rca or thompson repair person.
