    Default Schaub Lorenz - no sound on some FTA channels

    Hi guys, hope someone can give me a bit of guidance with a problem. I have a Schaub Lorenz television, model SL 42-4 FHD-100. I bought it in 2011. Just recently, when I cycle through the channels, I get a picture but no sound. I cycle on through the channels, some will have sound but a few won't. It seems to be certain channels that are most affected, but it's never identical in that sometimes when I cycle back through the channels, I pick up sound where there was none.

    I've tried switching the television off at the wall for a long time, no good there.

    If anyone can help me out here, it'd be very much appreciated. Thanks...

    Matt

    I'm not familiar with this TV, but the symptom is commonly trying to tune MPEG4 channels with a tuner that does not decode MPEG4. Eg: MPEG2 only.

    What are the specs of the tuner?

    which channels does it happen on mostly?
    Could be what mtv is saying as the new channels need mp4 to get sound and sometimes picture.
    Even try re tuning the tv like when you bought it new.
    Or it can be aerial issues too.

    Thanks, but I have no idea what type of tuner is within this television. I don't know the difference between MPEG4 channels and MPEG2, I would have thought all channels in my area were the same though?

    At the moment, it seems to be 11 and Seven 2, and occasionally on Seven Mate but not always.

    I would like to re-tune the thing, but the removalists lost my remote so I'm stuck with the minimal manual controls on the side of the thing and it's difficult working out what does what. The manual is terrible.

    Thanks for your input guys!

    The removalists should have replaced your remote. They will have insurance.
    You will prob need to re-tune the channels. They are often updated.
