| Got a magnajunk # 20mt1331/17. Last night the wife was watching tv (cable) and the reception was lost except for stations 1,2,3,4,5,6. All of which are the same station with no sound. Never had a station 1 before by the way. I have confirmed this wasn't a cable issue with another tv at that cable hookup and tried this tv at another cable source. This appears to be a different issue then every one else's magnavox problem's. Any idea's? Tuner kaput? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Can't find a chassis number. Thanks in advance, Jim. |

| I want to add some info I forgot. It was manufactured in December 2006. The other stations are just snow, again with no sound. |

| It appears like the tuner has failed. |

| Are you using a cable box or the cable ready tuner in the TV? |

| Cable directly into tv. It's strange that it shows the one station on 6 channels with no sound though. Thanks for your help. |

| Try unplugging the TV for about 5 minutes to reset any microprocessors and plug it back in. If it still does the same, try autoprogramming the tuner again. |

| Well, I've all ready tried this. At this point, I'm thinking the tv is going to the curb. No more magnavox or phillips from here out I guess. Thanks for your help and suggestions. |
