Hi

Is there a way to test a tv tuner??? I cant get a tv recption in car, i get all sat nav etc but just static on the tv. I have inspected the tuner and well, all dry and clean and the tuner looks new. Is there a way to test the box, as too narrow it down to the wireing???

Many thanks

The easiest way is by substitution, but if you have the correct leads you can also check using a DVD player / digital TV add on tuner etc,
as its also the Graphics out section for screen.
Sat Nav unit does also have its own output for screen.

Other than that just check no damage or corrosion to plugs etc.

I suppose you still have an analogue signal in your area,we lost ours several months ago,if you have lost it, you will need a digital tuner of some sort,just a thought.
