My vizio about 1 year 4/5 months old. I have a signal boosted antennae plugged into the coaxial input. It worked great, I picked up a ton of OTH signals, both analog and digitial. About 2 months ago, one day, I turn on the TV and lost the ability to change channels with the channel up/down button on the TV and on the remote. As a matter of fact, all my digiatial substations are gone (blue screen). I can still tune my analog stations if I manually press the tv station #. If I did a new channel scan, it would pick up the analog, but then the yellow progress bar would never begin to move on the digital level. It just stayed at 0% until I cancelled.I unhooked everything in the back, rehooked, turned it on/off and eventually it works again. TV turns on, I can change channels right away and I can rescan everything, perfect. This lasts for about a week, and then it happens again. I went through this dance for about a month and a half, and now, no matter what I do, I cannot get my digital stations. I am out of warranty, and before I bend over and think about getting out of warrantly repairs done, I want to run it past the experts here. Any ideas? Am I hosed? All my other inputs work without issue.So to recap, when I turn on the TV, it is "frozen" for about 30 seconds. I cannot change channels/volume/inputs. Then it "unfreezes" and I can change channels by directly entering the analog channel. Digital channels are in blue. Also, every now and then, I turn on the tv and get only the sound. I have to turn it off....wait for the "magic click" and turn it back on. But I still have the analogs only.
