Haven't turned it on in a couple years. I hooked it up to my satellite and can't get a picture. (This is just strictly coax, tv is too old to even have RCA hookups.) I don't have a second receiver so I hooked up a splitter to just mirror the signal. My newer tv is working fine but not the Sanyo. I have checked the splitter backwards and forwards, switching the cables and it doesn't matter which output I use, the Sanyo will not show a picture and the new one will. I hooked up a nintendo to it, flipped to channel 3, works fine. But no satellite? I have flipped through all the menu options and other than switching it from air to cable, I don't see what else I can change. Help? Suggestions? Thanks!<br> <br> PS Called the helpline. The guy knew less than I did. post:ask.metafilter.com,2007:site.71769 Mon, 17 Sep 2007 15:58:49 -0800 CwgrlUp tv sanyo brokentv http://ask.metafilter.com/71769/I-hate-tvs#1069057 Does the satellite box via coax work on a newer tv?<br> Also, please tell us your satellite receiver model. DirecTV or Dish Network? comment:ask.metafilter.com,2007:site.71769-1069057 Mon, 17 Sep 2007 18:31:21 -0800 ALongDecember http://ask.metafilter.com/71769/I-hate-tvs#1069059 Sorry, ignore my first question. It appears it does work. Does it work on the Sanya without splitting perhaps? comment:ask.metafilter.com,2007:site.71769-1069059 Mon, 17 Sep 2007 18:35:24 -0800 ALongDecember http://ask.metafilter.com/71769/I-hate-tvs#1069119 Directv.
