UPDATE: I got the replacement analog board yesterday from DM, installed it, and everything worked for a little while, but after turning it off/on a few times, it's back to no picture at all on all analog inputs.

Thanks for the info johnrot. I just downloaded a copy of the service manual, and the overall block diagram shows that the HDMI and RF antenna inputs go directly to the digital board.

The video was rolling for a few seconds, then it had some green lines, and then it had a clear picture for a few seconds and then froze. When I switched away and then back to the S-v...

Thanks

- I have rebooted the satellite box
- I have a DVD/VCR combo connected on the Comp1 and AV1 inputs, and there's sound only no picture on these inputs as well

The lamp meter shows 6450 hours, so it most likely is the lamp, but if it's the lamp does it make sense that some inputs would work with no problem and others don't?

Thanks,

My Samsung HL-R4266W is about 3 years old. It was used daily for about the first 2 years - now it's in the bedroom and used rarely. We just switched from cable to Dish Network satellite and this TV is the second on a dual TV box. When I turn on the TV tuned to the Dish input, I get sound only. The l...
