Panasonic DMR-EX83EB Tuner Fault - No Channels Rx
As usual at this time of year, I have my DMR-EX83EB set to record the Tour de France highlights. After dinner last night, went to watch - and there was nothing. No channels at all available. Did a rescan - no channels found. The co-ax loop-through to the TV is fine, so the channels are available but the tuner seems not to be functioning. Having checked connections, I did another rescan, same result.
This morning (without any further touching or checking) I set it to rescan, went to make a cup of tea, came back - and all the channels were there. Great, thought I. Set it to record the 7.00pm Tour highlights. Sat down this evening to catch up on the Tour - nothing had been recorded and again, all the channels had disappeared. Held the channel up & down buttons on the main set in for five seconds for a complete reset. The scan failed to find any channels. Is there anything that a layman like me can do to rectify the situation? If not, is it economical to take it in (somewhere?) for repair?
If the worst comes to the worst, any recommendations for a replacement with similar capabilities?
Any help and/or suggestions etc welcomed.
