What is wrong with my 57in toshiba tv?

Toshiba rear projector TV just shows snow (but DOES show Video1 feed fine)?

• Model: Toshiba TP50G90 (50" rear projection tv) . This is an old model (1997), so I don't have much hope, but money is tight and I'd rather not have to purchase a new TV if I can repair this one for under a few hundred dollars. Basically...for the past few months,. the TV has been acting up where sometimes we'll turn it on and it would be extremely staticy (loud static noises and the screen would static out at the same time as the noise). Usually if we turned it off and back on it would be ok for the night. More recently, we'd turn it on, and it's just snow, but again turning it off and back on a few days seemed to get it working again. Now, it's just snow, and if you leave it on long enough the TV shuts itself off. I know it's not the cable because we brought down a small portable TV and plugged the cable into it and it works fine on the little TV. And, it won't show anything from the DVD/VCR. ** BUT ** I tested with my PS2, and on Video 1 it DOES show the game, crystal clear. It seems to be only the TV mode that doesn't work. Any ideas what is wrong? Can it be fixed? Thanks

• Answer:

  Your problem is in the tuner section. It's not worth repair, but you can hook up a VCR and use its tuner instead, using the video/left/right outputs of the VCR to feed one of the TV's Aux inputs.
