When programming the TV I can bring in channels 48 and up but when I try to get channels 2 to 47 all I get is a blue screen. No picture or sound. Have tried adding the channels but it still doesn't work. Worked fine before turning it off and when I turned it on, it was like that. Is it something in the remote I hit by mistake? I've gone throught the menu and try and find something and nothing helps it.
First thing I'd try is disconnecting the AC power for about 30 seconds then plugging it back in and recheck the symptoms. You may also have corrupted data in the EEPROM (a memory chip that holds the channel frequencies and other information the set needs to operate) which would mean a trip to the repair shop. Otherwise, the tuner would be my last bet for this symptom, another shop repair. If the first choice didn't fix the problem and you have picture-in-picture capability with two tuners, you might want to switch the cable to the second tuner stub and switch in the menu to that tuner to see if that works around the problem. If you were using a cable box, of course that would be where the problem lied.

Had the remote checked out and it is fine. They said it could be in the tuner.
Don't have it fixed yet, but am going to call a repair man.
Thank you for your help.
