Is my TV dead?

BTW, if the mods are watching, this topic probably belongs more in the Beyonwiz section (or on the Beyonwiz forum, for that matter )

Done.

The aerial connection is the prime suspect but one other thing to check is that the TV is actually scanning for digital channels. Older TVs will scan for analogue channels, which no longer exist.

It definitely can usually see digital channels

But my older Samsung TV has an analogue scanner and a digital scanner, they are in kind of independent places in the menu structure (older M series, I haven't scanned that one in a while and is sitting in it's box at the moment, so this is going on distant memory from about 4 years ago or so since I last scanned it).

Yeah, mine has both as well, but I was talking about the digital setting.  I have someone visiting today, I may ask them to plug the TV directly into the antenna, if they seem like in the mood :-)
