These answers do not fit my question. One day, on three different sets in my home, where I have received NBC for years just quit working. Did NBC quit broadcasting? It is not snowy, etc, it is just no

I have a Sony, Samsung and older Sylvania. One day NBC no longer has any substation signals. This is not my equipment. My antenna is in my attic and has not moved. All others are working fine in my reception area.

Ok This is what I found out and hopefully found your solution..
Have you heard of Double Rescan?
The Federal Communication Comission Designed a Process called double rescan.
Double Rescanning erases and thenreprograms the channels in the converter box an digital TVs memory.
To Double Rescan, you will first need to disconnect the antenna from the converter box or antenna.
Then disconnect the converter and or digital tv power supplies from the wall. Wait a minute before plugging them back in. The antenna should still be disconnected.
With the antenna disconnected run the channel scan function on the coverter box or digital tv. When the scan completes you will have completely removed any channel data the converter box or digital tv, had in its memory.
Now it's time to rescan for real.
Do this by reconnecting the antenna to the converter box or digital tv and running the channel scan function again.
Thus the double rescan is born.
If the double rescan doesn't work, then try some tips and tricks to get your converter box up and running..I will have to look up the url again that has the tips and tricks...
If the double rescan doesn't work let me know and I will look up more options..
I really hope this works..

    Sorry meant to tell you this..It seems to be a common occurrence and not unknown of for the converter boxes or digital tvs to stop picking up different channels..Its definately not your devices. It has to do with the converter boxes themselves just a malfunction on their part. The website that I went to was about tech.com/doublerescan..I dont really know why the converter boxes and digital tvs have problems with HD channels..They just do after a while..Anyway, I hope this helps you and if you have anymore questions I'd be more than happy to help if I can..

SOURCE: Not picking up Digital signal from box but can receive it analog

So many factors could be affecting your reception. Keep in mind that the digital signal is all or nothing, either you have a signal or you don't, with the regular signal you can pull in weak signals but you can't with digital. Your converter box when turned on will probably not pick up the standard signal. The distance from the digital signal and the direction the antenna is facing also will affect your signal.
Ok with that said you will have to clear the path between the broadcast signal and your antenna, I know this will be a chore but take your antanna out of the attic and put it outside as a test only, this dosnt mean you cant have it in the attic it will just be a signal test.
Once the antenna is moved, from the menu scan for channels and see what you get. Let me know and I can help further.

SOURCE: Turned on set....screen all black except a dark blue rectangle in center which reads:Failed to receive broadcast [E202]

That message is presented when a selected digital channel is too weak to decode. Let us hope that something was accidentally changed:

Is the channel legitimate?
Is the antenna/cable still connected (to the Digital input)?
Go into menu - setup - channel setup. Is the selection of either cable or air channels correct for your situation?
Use menu - setup - Antenna Setup-DIGITAL to examine the signal strength. Is there nothing at all, or is it just a question of strength?

Odds favor a change in channel setup that you would not have made intentionally, or a simple physical problem (input cable, etc.). Start from scratch, and check the settings and connections you originally made. Hopefully it will be simple and cheap!

Sound and no picture ?

If you can also change channels on it, then it will be most likely the T-Con board that has a fault on it. It's quite a common fault these days. In fact I have told three other people just now of the same problem all on different TV's.
If you know what you are doing you can replace the board quite easily most times. Providing you get the right board.

I have brought a Invicta 0259 trinite watch. Please guide us on how to set the time, date and the day/night settings for this watch, as the manual doesn't help much. thanks!

Not knowing the movement and how many functions it has your best bet would be to contact Invicta or a man named JIM SKELTON. Jim works for SHOP NBC Jim's a great guy he'll answer any and all questions you might have when it comes to Invicta Watches. Also the Invicta home page is your next bet. The Guy who runs Invicta is named "A"-"L" Well something like this forgot how to spell it.

Two great guys though! I have 5 Invicta myself.
I know you'll get what you need from them,

RCA F36715 36" TV received this tv used from a friend. we do not have original remote so we use a generic universal remote. tv works fine, but we cannot get the Guide Plus+ to work. we went through the...

You're cable company may have quit using TV Guide info from "TV Guide", because they want you to get their box for this info, or to save expense. It happened here in Michigan about a year ago. If you have local ABC, NBC, and PBS stations, you can get this info downloaded nightly through an external "over-the-air" antenna.-- assuming you're in the U.S.

I can no longer get nbc on my converter box

try doing a rescan of the channels, might also be new RF signal obstruction in the area, try re pointing your antenna a different angle, this helped me once when a weak channel was freezing often.

All sound has died

Try system restore to a date just before the show crashed. If drivers corrupted on the day of the crash, you should get an older configulation to work from restore. If restore fails to revive your software environment and drivers, test with a different sound card. If a diffrent one workd, reinstall the SB live. If it fails, it probably died.

Good luck

Amp making clicking noise at varied times

Hello, headbanger here again. I have fixed the amp myself with 3 relays from an electronics company, the number on the relays can be seen by taking the cover off. The three speaker relays are at the back of the circuit board, there is a fourth relay for the power switch but it is at the front of the board. I did replace all three instead of the bad one as it was only $2.68 for each relay. The most important thing is the pin spacing on the relays, there are different relays that do the same purpose that have different pin postion, they will not fit into postion as the pins are only long enough to fit exact.I live in Canada and a company RAE Industrial Electronics Limited at Burnside Industrial Park in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia ... Their phone # (902) - 468 - 1238 ... Fax 902-468-5887 ordered them in. The part number on the receipt is ALA2F12 - RELAY,DPST, 3A 12VDC .. The sales order number on the receipt is 43771-2. Well that's about all the info i have, hope it might help with someone else. Paying $10 to fix my amp was well worth it, having a friend at work with electronics experience helps alot too. He did all the leg work for me to find them, bought him a dinner at work for his effort. My dishes at home are rattling again. OYEAH.
