The tuner for this model TV has been subbed by Sony several times. The
current P/N for replacement is 8-598-047-50 and lists for $116.25. Add
labor to part cost and the VCR method may be the preferred way to solve
problem

How much does something like that take to fix?

Tuner is bad in the tv set. The UHF section of the tuner is not working
at
all. High band cable channels are usually tuned by the UHF section in
the
tuner starting somewhere around channel 50 give or take.

thank you again for your help. typing in higher channels (those
offered
my
provider), followed by pressing "ENTER," was of course on of the first
things I tried. that followed by reprogramming which hasn't changed
anything.
again, other TVs connected to my cable do receive all the channels
provided
by our cable company (2-119). And the problem remains for my TV when I
plug
it into other cables around the building, it doesn't receive above 47.
a sure solution is of course what Bigmike suggested by getting a vcr
to
change the channels. but i am now mostly interested in what's wrong
with
my
TV and would like to fix it.

boss / Adam:
Yes.... it should be receiving all the cable channels.....
try, with the remote to punch in .... say... channel 49, 52, etc...
or
some
upper channel ..... BE CERTAIN to press the ENTER button after you
punch
in
the channel number. If you can receive the channel that you have
just
manually enter then it is just a simple matter of ADDING the
channels
to
the
channel memory.... should be a (+) or (-) button on the remote or
on
the
television or an on screen menu that lets you add or delete
channels.
Let
us know what you find out.

The model number of my sony is KV-13M10. it was manufactured in
aug
1995.
what dose this tell you about my TV? Should it be receiving above
47
channels?

hoss / Adam::
If you can provide a model number I think you might get some
more
specific
advice..... obviously not all Sony 13" televisions were
designed
and
built
the same.
Cable television channels over the years have expanded several
times
as
allowed by FCC rules..... so in the earlier years the
television
manufacturers did not build capability into a television that
was
not
needed.... or was not even an issue.
Depending on the features and design of your television and how
old
it
is,
up to cable channel 47 just may be all it can receive.....
slightly
older
televisions may have only gone up to cable channel 36, and older
than
that
maybe cable channel 22.

I have a sony trintiron 13'' TV. unfortunately I don't know
the
year.
for
some reason I can't get any channel above 47 on it while about
100
channels
are available when another TV is connected to the same cable.
in
addition
the problem still remaines when the problematic sony is
connected
to
anyother cable. Of course I've tried reprogramming the TV but
that
doesn't
work. it doesn't even receive the higher channels when they
are
specifically
typed into the remote, just static.
I wonder if anyone has any advice on what the problem may be
and
how
to
fix
it aside from getting a new TV.
Thank you very much,
Adam
