Why do some channels appear blank on my Sony KD-28DL11U?
Some channels might appear blank on your Sony TV because they are scrambled/subscription-only channels, not currently being transmitted, or used only for data (with no picture or sound). You may need to subscribe to the pay-per-view service or contact the broadcaster for transmission details.
Why is there no picture on any channel after digital tuning on my Sony TV?
If there is no picture on any channel after digital tuning your Sony TV, it could be due to several reasons: there may be no digital transmissions in your area, the signal might be weak, or the aerial may be unsuitable. Tune in all available analogue channels. Ensure the aerial/satellite dish is correctly aligned to the transmitter. Ensure the aerial is plugged directly into the TV (not through other equipment). Consider upgrading to a higher gain aerial.
