Okay my roommate has an older tv (Sanyo DS19130 manufactured 1992) and it does the weirdest thing. If your on channel 47 and try to go up one it jumps all the way to 95. If you manually put in channel 48 it goes to 47 if you manually put in 94 it jumps to 47. if you switch from cable tv to normal it lets you go to any channel however if you switch back to cable while on a channel 48-94 it again automatically jumps to 47. Now I know Occam's razor says that I'm just stupid and haven't added the channels or allowed the tv to scan for clear channels. However let me assure you I have tried that at least 10 times. I have a bit of a need to fix things and it's driving me insane. So any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated I'd be glad to troubleshoot with anybody. Thanks email me at [email protected] with any ideas appreciate it.

My 1991 Sanyo AVM250 has exactly the same problem.
The only way I know of easily getting around this is to use a cable box to do all the channel tuning and feed your TV on fixed channels 3 or 4.
If I find a tuner modification to fix the problem internally I'll try that and post the results here.
I have the same problem with the same TV, I have searched all over the internet for any ideas and have found nothing. My next idea is to find a "master rest button\switch on it or internally. I would recommend that anyone that has this problem join me in my search and email myself or the opening poster with your possibilities.
