Oh ya menu sound,ps3 on hdmi good and everything else is super.
It just wont find any channels when scanned on ly the analog one and that is very grainy.
I dont know maybe the 2 boards are duds,just seems strange they have the same problem!!!

Re: Philips 37pfl5405H/05

thats strange, I'm guessing you might have gotten a bad mainboard, did you get it from ebay?

Re: Philips 37pfl5405H/05

are you scanning for digital channels?, you know how you go in menu and select scan for digital?

Re: Philips 37pfl5405H/05

maybe you can fix this with a service menu adjustment, not sure, but if you go in service menu, be very careful what you adjust, if your not sure what it does, they say don't adjust it.

Re: Philips 37pfl5405H/05

Yes scanning for digital alright.
I am thinking that the 2 mainboards are bad.
I will try and source another one or at least it will work with pvr box and ps3 so someone might get some use out of it.

oh, did you try a factory reset? maybe a hard reset, leave it unplugged for an hour or so.

Re: Philips 37pfl5405H/05

Updated firmware,did factory rest,went into service menu and nothing seen nothing of note in there!!!
I think I may have exausted all avenues on this,will attack it again when I get home later.

no problem, looks like mainboard.

Re: Philips 37pfl5405H/05

I just did a quick check and I can buy the tuner on its own and replace the bad one on the mainboard.
Worth a try I guess????

Re: Philips 37pfl5405H/05

Alright,following on from my previous posts and also because I hate when people dont come back with whether they solve the problem or not,i am glad to report that replacing the tuner on the mainboard solved the problem.
I am receiving all channels as should be.
The tuner itself was fairly easy to replace and only cost €28 delivered.
So another tv rescued from the skip.
Happy days!!!!!!!
