Don, My experience with Sharp Eproms, is that they load themselfs from the micro-p at turn on. All the basic parameters for normal operation, should be there. If you have a blue screen, it could be a bad tuner. If the set has an external input, try that, to bypass the tuner. Also,..I would consider changing the Micro-p.,...but, that would be as a last resort.
