Could still be a bad tuner. Since the dawn of time (or at least the dawn of TV), we've seen plenty of tuners that would work on one band, but not on others. Before cable boxes, we'd see plenty of tuners that had no 2 to 6 (VHF low), no 7-13 (VHF hi), or no mid band or high band CATV (can no longer remember the line of demarcation of the those), or UHF. Today, we add digital OTA functions to the legacy bands. So even if he scanned OTA with a cheap antenna and received one or two digital TV channels, it still wouldn't prove his tuner was OK. BUT, if his modulator works on any low band VHF channel, he can enter the number manually as you suggest if he has a remote, or if the menu allows it (doubtful on newer TVs). |

For the C64, make sure the tuner in the TV is set to OTA (over the air) and NOT to CATV (cable television). -- Jeff Liebermann jeffl@cruzio.com 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |
