The first things to check are th antenna connection at the radio and the cable at the antenna. If you have a poor connection, you may still get adequate FM through capacitive coupling, but the lower frequency AM signal would be severely degraded. If the connectors are heavily tarnished, polish them. If you have a telescoping antenna, make sure the sections fit snugly, but are not stuck due to dirt or corrosion (bad connection between sections).
If the antenna is good but you still have poor signal, the AM tuner is probably out of alignment. The alignment procedure is simple enough that it is a lab exercise for second-year electronics students, but it requires an oscilloscope and reference signal generator to get it right.
Check you antenna on the scanner. You are describing loss of signal to the scanner. It could be the antenna, the antenna connector, the scanner its self.
Check everything over, Try a better antenna.
Almost all TV Tuners have to be plugged into your soundcard for you to get sound. If you already have it plugged into your soundcard, double click on your sound icon to bring up your volume control, it will have several sliders on it. Make sure all the sliders are up and you should be able to hear sound from the TV Tuner. Also, if the TV Tuner is NOT picking up any stations, you will probably not hear static.
There's no clear all settings there. You need to manually delete each saved station. Try to unplug the power of the unit for few hours and check if that clears all.
well tuners are being made smaller (and there is more cold solder in some points due to heat) so i would look up a new tuner for that tv...and if you know how to solder ,do it yourself it will be cheaper
I need more info on this. What type of tuner and receiver? Is the tuner plugged into the headphone jack on the tv? If you have a tuner for tv that tunes in channels 2,3,5,12,25,60 etc that would be an older tuner that used the older NTSC standard. Tv stations now broadcast using ATSC, channel 4,1, 4.2 etc.
