No Channel 7
Posted: Thu Sep 20, 2018 13:26
I have a weird problem where one TV doesn't detect channel 7 (or 7two, 7mate). If I run the auto-tune, it detects all the other channels available in my area (SBS, ABC, WIN, 9) but 7 doesn't get detected at all. It's like it just doesn't exist. Manual tuning has the same result.
This is one of two identical TVs bought at the same time and placed in different rooms of the house. The other TV picks up channel 7 just fine. Same TV make and model, same setup and settings, just different rooms of the same house. I have compared every possible setting that might affect the TVs ability to detect a channel and both TVs are set up identically, but one knows 7 exists and the other does not.
If the problem TV isn't properly connected to the antenna, it surely wouldn't be able to detect signals from the other stations/channels. If the antenna isn't getting a signal for channel 7 the other TV shouldn't get perfect reception for channel 7. This has been an ongoing problem for years and over time I have tried everything I can think of, but nothing helps.
If anyone has any suggestions what might be causing this and how to fix it I would love the advice.
