I would highly suspect the tuner because tuners usually fail in 3 bands: channels 2-6, 7-13, and 14-125. Sometimes all 3 bands fail at once.

The number on the tuner is 2428681 (ET-352A). Does anybody know of a different tuner that might cross? Has anyone seen this before with this model or chassis? I'm trying to figure out if the tuner or micro is bad before I send the tuner out for repair.
