We have a big screen TV that has suddenly gone on the fritz a couple
of days ago.

It plays fine on channels 6 & 7 out of all available cable channels,
the picture is there and looks fine except for those two channels, a
'snowy' sound exists on anything but channel 6 or 7.

It even is this way when playing back tapes or DVDs through our
player when on channel 3, etc..

Does this sound familiar to anyone? My wife indicated today that on
one occasion, one of the channels was playing pretty clear albeit in
spanish with the commercials coming through in english. Weird as
heck.

Seems like a cable issue although the fact that we can't place the
TV onto channel 3 and play VCR movies or DVDs okay seems
suspiciously like a television problem.

Any ideas?.


sounds like a problem in the IF module. Coils may need a tweak.


Unlikely given that a couple of the channels are fine.

Bet its just got set to the spanish audio
