Ther is a test you could do is you had the proper equipment, and that would be to inject a know good RF signal into the tunner F connector and chech tha point where the RF/IF is converted to audio and video, to determine if the proble is a bad tuner or not. The equipment is a VA62A Universal Video Analyzer. Its a great piece of equipment for this type of work. another thing you can do is get an RF Modulator from Radio shack and input a video and audio signal in to it and set it to channel 3 and connect the F connector to the TVs F connector. The set the TV to channel 3 you should see the picture and hear sound in channel 3. The VA62A is best because you can set it to emulate all of your channels from 1-87 standard TV and Cable TV. In any event a test needs to be run to see if the tunner is at fault.

This set stopped detecting channels when I run a scan. I ran the coaxial from the cable direct to the tv instead of the cable box and it read about 16 channels but the channel numbers were odd like 10

Red and white are audio lines and all yellow is video. You sound like you are missing the video line.

All channels are crystal clear except one that is snowy. I have cable.

One snowy channel can be caused by lots of issues, if it is on all tv's in your house, then there is a possibility that you have moisture in your "drop" line to the house or something is wrong in the trasmission lines to your home, but this will usually affect multiple channels in the same freqency range.

If it is only on 1 tv, then you may have a bad jumper cable from wall to tv, or vcr to tv ect.. you may have a bad connector on the feed cable or jumper cables, you may have a bad splitter partially blocking that frequency, or a bad "barrel" / wall plate partially blocking that frequency, the tuner in the tv may be going bad.

My advice is if it is only on 1 tv then move that tv to another room where the channel is fine... see if the problem follows the tv. if it does then you know you have a issue with the tv, if not then move another tv into the room with the problem and see if it still exists. If so start replacing jumper wires 1 by 1 making sure everything is hand tight.

If the problem is in the entire home, then i would locate the main cable input to your home on the outside of your home, dissconnect it from it's ground block / splitter and take a tv outside with an extention cord.. plug it directly into the tv.. if you still have the problem on that channel then you can call your cable company armed with that information. And have them send a tech out.

Good luck.

Loosing digital channels is equivlent to a snowy analog channel, check you cable connections, and splitters to the tv, since you have two of them out, it does not make sense that it is your tv. It is a conneciton in your cable line somewhere.

Power went out while tv & Direct TV was on

The garbage on your unused channels are not important, just artifacts from signals not strong enough to produce a picture.
The 'blue screen' on #3 is what many sets use when they sense they are connected (terminated) to 'something' but not receiving any signal.

If sounds a lot like DTV's receiver took a hit.

If you have a second set you can borrow or drag to the receiver, try it first but I don't think it is your problem unless the cable input on it was zapped.

One T.V. snowy on Sat., clear on local channels, others are fine?

if you recently got dishnetwork call the company that installed the system for a repair person, they HAVE to fix it. if you put it in yourself it sounds like the lnb is bad or the dishnetwork splitter is bad or not hooked up right. this kind of problem is a reminder that paying an extra $5 a month for service warranty is a good deal. if something is wrong with anything then, a phone call to dishnetwork will get new equipment sent to you or a service tech sent to fix it. i don't presently work for dish or direct or a cable co but i know that's how things work.

If you are on cable, first run the cable wire from the wall directly to the TV, eliminating any cable box and/or VCR. If channel 2 is snowy but the rest (especially 3-6) are clear, it is most certainly a cable problem and not a TV problem. The TV uses the exact same circuits for channel 2 to 6 (VHF-LOW) so if the tuner was bad and 2 was snowy, 3, 4, 5 and 6 would be snowy too. Bring a second TV into that room, disconnect the cable wire from the RCA and connect it to the second TV. Is channel 2 on the second TV as snowy as it was on the RCA?

I have the 13 inch and...

If you get channels 2 to 13 nice and clear but the rest are snowy, it means that the TV is set to the broadcast channels, which means that for the channels above 13 it is tuning in the old-fashioned UHF channels. If the TV is set to the cable mode then it tunes in cable channels above 13. To do this, enter the menu and navigate to the tuner settings, set the tuner to standard cable and then do the autoprogram, and the tuner's memory will be set for your cable system.
