My tuner from my emerson tv does not work - Emerson EWL3706 37 in. LCD Television

Depends on where you get your service. Where I liveon East Coast of US, ya got to have a Comcast box (DTA Digital Transit Adapter) or better) PERIOD. Currently, there are no TV sold in my area that can beat the Comcast system. It may be different where you live.

No. It's tuner is analog. However, your cable company may still broadcast some analog channels. But if that's the case, your TV will pick up the same channels.

if your tv doesnt have a digital tuner, you cant, unless you have a digital to analog tuner converter (can be purchased in walmart, or other stores that carry tv s, electronics) you tune your tv to 3 or 4, use the converter box to scan for channels, and for changing channels instead of your tv tuner

Think that your tuner section has been compromised by the surge. Happens. If your other audio/video inputs work you can plug an external tuner in there.

Most of these the tuner lays flat on that board and is nearly impossible to get out without destroying the board.

A simple suggestion is why not if you have a cable box with audio/video outputs on it----connect from there to one of the inputs on the back of the set---select that input and bingo you have bypassed the tuner and are changing channels with the box

If you do not have a box but have cable TV or sat the cost for the box should be nominal even over time compared to replacing the board if you can even find that board---Emerson is a name someone bought to use like Westinghouse and both are known for poor availability of parts.

Have you considered bypassing the TV tuner?

The Emerson LD195EM8 has both an NTSC (analog) and an ATSC (digital) tuner with an RF (coax) connector. So you will be able to watch current OTA TV without a set top box (cable/satellite/converter).

I hope this helps.

Hello
If your other TVs work on the same antenna, and only this Emerson doesn't work with it, eiter your TVs tuner inside, or it tuning has some trouble. Check by put the set to autotune refering to its user manual. Check whether the cable socket is tight or not.
If these are correct, replace its tuner, [it is inside the circuit board], with same type and number. OK.

How old is the tv if you have jammed the inputs or the cords they may be just done replacements parts can be on shopjimmy.com

It sounds like the tv tuner on the emerson has gone bad if the directv box is not working on channel 3. Try channel 4 on the emerson tv and see if it works. If not you may consider using the game input for directv and disconnecting the dvd player or game console and then reconnecting them only when you use them. You would need to disconnect directv from the game input each time to use the dvd player or game console. Oterwise for simplicity buy another tv. not worth repairing these days

Check this link for more info. You tv is not HD capable because it has an analog tuner and not a digital one.
