HELP!! Pioneer TV only works with other inputs, not cable! what now? Can't Post
Ok, here's the problem... My older Pioneer projection 52" tv had been acting up for about 2 weeks now...

Basically the DVD works great (and right away) so does all the other input "plugins" but when I just try and watch TV (cable) there is no picture. After an hour there might be spuratic flashes of the show but that's it! (Maybe 1 second every 15 minutes)

Frown

The picture and sound works perfectly in any other input things, just the cable. I have checked using another tv. it's not the cable.



Any ideas? What might I be looking at? How much do you think it would cost?

Thanks!

Heather

If you mean basic cable thru a F connector,why not just upgrade to digital cable or sat.

The cable or sat box should work since the dvd player works.

The sat or cable box could connected into the plugins that work.

I wish we could get another dish type service but we're WAY out in the boonies and the cable works fine on any other TV....

I think it might have something to do with the tuner but I have NO clue what's involved!



Thank you SOOOO much! Any other ideas?

SmileIt sounds like a Tuner problem,check for intermittent solder connection in the varactor tuner if it's ok,look for right voltages in tuner/micro( repairman's work).
