This tv is not connected to cable or dish, but has an interior antenna. up to about 2 months ago, we could get network channels (abc, nbc,cbs) which is all we wanted. Suddenly CBS dropped out, says "no signal" when we try to get it. The other two networks are fine. we tried "channel scan" etc. and other features in "menu" with no results

How far away is the CBS station? Are there any obstacles that would block the signal (say new construction)?
What channels do antennaweb.org or tvfool.com suggest you will get from your location? (Antennaweb is more conservative and assumes an outdoor antenna.) Do you need to rotate your antenna to get one transmitter or the other? Indoor antennas are more likely to get interference and direction issues.
You may want to restore your TV to the default and then rescan the channels. (This may or may not help. It usually helps more with scrambled information than lost channels.)
I hope this helps.
Cindy Wells (good luck. I've had issues with my CBS and Fox affiliates (sharing a transmitter location). At first it was clearly my TV and the reset helped. Now I have no clue as to the cause - the external TV antenna gives a strong signal on the other TV. The problem TV says the signal is bad and this is the closest transmitter and antennaweb says I should get it easily. Even pointing the antenna straight at the transmitter doesn't help.)
