Default Can a coax connection be partially damaged? Some stations suddenly not coming in on HDTV on coax in.

Most DVD/VCR players will disable any other outputs when you use the
component connections. Mine does that. So if you decide to use
component out, the coax out connection might be disabled and hence
that's why now you can't get any channels.

Hook up the coax direct to the TV and you should get the channels back.

Also, as Michael said, make sure the CABLE/ANTENNA selection in the TV menu
is correct. You won't get any channels above 13 if it is wrong.

The TV tuner is almost certainly better than the VCR tuner; so, you really
don't want to use the VCR to tune the channels. If you do, the VCR also has
to have the CABLE/ANTENNA selection set correctly.
