My itv channels keep breaking up or freezing since
I'm guessing the signal from the antenna is too weak. With digital, it will not get fuzzy as with analog, but rather will pixelate, go blank, or freeze. You need to figure out how to get more signal to the TV by moving or re-aiming the antenna, improving the connections (clean or repair), or amplifying the signal.
No Satelite Signal Indication
The "front end" of your Receiver might be defective. Since your other unit is working then what might be happening is the signal to your unit might be dropping, to check this I would use a Satellite power meter, however if you do not have one you can use your other unit and connect it to the cable that your supposed defective unit is connected to. If the unit works then the problem is the supposed defective unit, if the unit does not work then this denotes a possible cable problem.
Tell me if this works for you?
Absolutly no signal on any transponders, all @ 0

Satellite Receiver Malfunction
Go into the menu and check the signal strenth to see if its going up and down or if its a stead as a rock. I have seen this problem be the reciver as I was a satillite contractor for 5 years in the past and I have installed 1000's. I have also seen your poblem be a small brance in the distance cause the freezing, also a bad connector from the lnb on the dish to the multiswitch, or a bad connector on the back of the reciver or even a pinch in the wire but the most common thing I have found would be a loose connection on the back of the reciver with the fitting wasent screwed on all the way.. If the signal is rock steady, the reciver will need to be replaced as the recivers dont pay to be repaired. good Luck
Black and white screen only on DSTV?
RCA video cables handle analog signals. HDMI cables carry digital video signals. You need a converter. If you are using a component video converter, check if you swapped two of the three RCA video cables. (There are some A/V projectors that can do the translation of RCA and HDMI internally. Most TVs do not.)
I hope this helps.

(One of my family's TVs used a dongle to condense the analog video signal to a single port, swapping blue and green gave a black and white output, IIRC.)
I have an RCA re20qp80 remote that the mute button doesn't work
Most modern tv remotes are not normally designed to be repaired. You will possibly need to replace it. there are plenty of cheaper after market version that will do the job just as well. Your other option, and yes I know this is a silly answer, when you want to mute the TV is to simply press the volume down button to zero then turn it back up when you want sound.

Where is the fuse located on a rca flat screen tv
The fuse on an RCA flat screen TV is typically located on the power supply board near one of its corners. The power supply board is the board with an array of capacitors, resistors, and heat sinks on it . The fuse is a small cylindrical tube with metal caps and is relatively small compared to other components on the board . If you have never seen a circuit board before, finding the fuse may be tricky. You can consult the user manual for your TV if you need help locating the fuse .

Replacing the fuse should be done with caution, especially if it is soldered to the board, as errors could lead to costly damage. You can check if the fuse is blown visually or with a multimeter-like tool. If you are unsure about how to replace the fuse, it is best to seek professional help.
