Are you sure the set has an ATSC (digital) tuner?

Hello, and thank you for replying,
well I bought this tv 2 days ago, original problem was that the lamp was burned out, I replaced it, but wen I turn the tv on,it works but no channels, how do i know if it has ATSC digital tuner?.
I know the tv has a analog channel search and DTV search, I tried both to search and no channels show up; just snowy; no audio.
Thanks

You just mentioned one way.
If with a good ANTENNA connected - Set switched to Broadcast (NOT cable) television and "Digital" (DTV) - you should be able to do a scan and find stations. Otherwise something is wrong with tuning.
Try connecting a VCR and keying in channel 3 (or 4) - channel 3 (or 4) is SAME for broadcast or Cable (but not same for Analog/digital). Wink

Ok, the tv has an ATSC search option and analog search option, I searched for channels on these options but still no channels any idea what it may be?

I connected a VCR, Cable box, and Digital cable box, thru the antenna Input, ( cahnnel 3 ( or 4) and still nothing, do you think it maybe the tuner? I called PTS electronics, to fix the tuner it costs $350.00 dollars.
thanks.

Get a set top converter box (or other options you mention) and go in one of the A/V inputs. Will still be stereo but SD. Cool

Have you tried cable connected directly and TV switched accordingly. (cable tuning)

yes i did, and still no channels.
I think the best way will be connect a cable box on the back of tv. Input video audio.
thanks for all your support.
