Help: My TV has sound, but no pic except when I watch a DVD.

The picture on my TV is gone, but we still have audio. We discovered that you can still see the channel status with our satellite TV remote. Also, the picture is fine when we watch VHS and DVD's.

What's up with my TV? How can we have a picture with DVD's and not with regular stations?

Our satellite works fine because we don't have any problems with our primary TV.

Any thoughts?

Check your input channel hookups and wiring.

Check the SCART cable plug, when the plug doesn't sit right, you won't have video.

I'd use it as an excuse to go out and get a bigger/better TV.

I'd check the connection from the ANT, to the Box/TV

smear some peanut butter on it.

you need to completely unplug your satellite box for 30 sec...basically reboot it.

I think it's busted. Could be wrong though.

Dude, this actually worked. I have no idea how long it will last; but for right now, it's working...

Thanks!
