Did you set up the Gemstar, yet?
If you have, change the zip code to 00000 and see if this resets it.

Replacing the Gemstar module makes the set come on but no channel #'s or no
control from front panel. Changing the EPROM gave me channel #'s and control
of the panel. Now I have no video. Just what looks like every other line lit
in a dim green tint. My damm chipper checker is acting up but the
diagnostics in the service menu say no errors. Am I missing something or am
I screwed until I can get chipper check to work. Haven't traced the video
circuit yet.
