This Sony KV-27V36 was working fine until about an hour ago. When I turned
on the PIP, it initially looked fine. Then I did a few exchanges of
channels from the small window to the big window. I noticed the smaller
window was showing just static. I thought the cable had gone out for that
station because the larger window was still showing a clear picture. I hit
the switch button again and the problem still stayed with the smaller
window. So now I know that it's not the cable. There are only two choices
in the setup menu (not talking about the service menu) for cable channel
select. They are "on" or "off" and it's set to "on." To summarize, all the
channels work properly when the PIP is not active or if the PIP is active
and you're looking at the larger window. The smaller PIP window will work
fine until you reach channel 48. From channel 49 and above, it's all
static. I'm fairly certain that the way the two tuners operate is that
they each stay on the same station when you hit the switch button. All
that changes is where the pictures are displayed. Is that correct? If not,
it would make sense that one of the tuners is having tuning issues though
I'm not sure what's so special about channels 48 and above. The
information I've researched doesn't show those two channels (48 and 49)
are situated on different bands. Any ideas?

Thanks for your reply.

I would say it is the tuner itself. Might respond favorably to
resoldering...

Used to see lots of problems like this.
