Samsung DLP TV Can't Post
Have a older Samsung DLP TV Model #HL-S5087W. DVD player is hooked up to source AV2, Wii is hooked up to AV3 which also has our netflix viewing, digital converter is hooked up to DTV Air. We can view movies on dvd and we can access and view the netflix movies/shows but when we try to view local tv stations we only get heavy snow. Can one source go out and the other 2 channel sources still work, if so how can we fix this?

What are you using to feed signal to the digital converter? Roof antenna? Rabbit ears?
Where are you connecting the output of the digital converter?
Is digital converter working? Try on another set.

We have tried different Antenna's and converter box. Both were working fine until yesterday so don't know what happened that quick that it would cause that particular source channel to not work. We have also checked all connections and they are all on correct input/outputs.

If you are putting the signal from your digital box out onto channel 3 or 4 on your TV first thing is to see if your TV is actually set to channel 3 or 4 & make sure the digital box is on. Also see if you have another antenna input on your TV besides DTV & try that. If you still don't get a picture that way, it is possible that the tuner in the TV has gone bad.

Does your digital box have any other outputs (such as RCA AV out -- yellow, white & red jacks) & if it does see if your TV has any more inputs such as video 3 or even front or side video input jacks that can be used; this will bypass the tuner in your TV.

It Worked! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. We bypassed the tuner and believe it or not it seems like we have a much sharper picture! Thank YOU!

You're welcome! happy to help.

Yes it will be a sharper picture & you'll also notice much nicer richer sound too; it will be in true stereo using that input as opposed to running it through a tuner.
