Tuning problem My new Sony bravia 26 inch TV keeps 'losing channels'. The display tells me the station is not tuned even after I repeat auto tuning. I can see the picture and hear sound too but the picture and sound break up constantly.

first of all re set your tv from the set up menu. then go to the channel set up and do the auto tune again. hope this will solve your problem.

if possable retune with a known working connection ie at the house next door
this will rule out your own setup and may save you time / money in the long run

Make sure you have a good connection from antenna to TV. Check antenna and cable and cable connection to TV. Select DIGITAL button on TV remote when wanting HD channels. Remember HD channels are always digital. Also, any given TV station may not be broadcasting in HD at a given time. They can broadcast in digital but in standard definition sometimes. Your TV has a built-in DVB-T tuner. Try executing a channel scan to pick up all available channels. On-screen menus go to Digital Setup, then Digital Tuning, you can auto-tune or manual tune channels. The TV should take a few min. to scan thru available channels and store the channels its finds. Check with anyone in your area to see if they get HD channels (it is possible to be outside of the range of some TV stations) Your TV is a 2006 model and should still be compatible with local digital TV broadcasts but keep in mind digital signals could change in the near future (DVB-T2) and you may need a tuner/converter box to make the TV compatible.
