Neighbor is complaining of loss of SBS all channels on their toshiba 42" flat-screen, I went in and checked, cant raise 3, 30, or 32...and also Ch31/44 (local community digital station) is now missing as well, even though I knew it was there last time I was there as I saw it.

I ran an autoscan...twice...made no difference....every station installed but still except no 3-30-32, and no ch31/44...they have a backup old CRT tv in kitchen, connected to same antenna, it still has the basic 0-28 SBS ATV  channel working...even that doesnt pickup on the analogue side on the flatscreen.

Every other channel is ok, 9-90-99,7-70-72-73, 1-10-11-12 , 2-22-24, even including the infotainment channels 74 and 94, and the 2 radio music stations such as ABC Jazz.

Im next door, use a pretty much identical basic antenna,similiar class of TV, pointing same way , about same mast height, have not had any issues develop all channels great  reception. 

So it is hard to see how there is anything up with either their antenna or signal range.

Another oddity I noticed, is they tried to play a DVD which they hadnt tried since the new TV...older Toshiba DVD player with hardly any use.

all DVDs , no matter how many you try out, are playing back in B/W only, including the disc menus.

That I figure might be merely a bad or incorrect RCA plug connection cable issue, crossed up or not connecting properly.
