Panasonic DMR-EX75 DVD recorder

[rivel]

My recorder has suddenly stopped picking up the freeview signal.
We no longer have analogue only digital in this area.
I have looked at various comments on the internet and there seems to be a problem with a capacitor on some models.
Mine is 6 year old. Is it worth geting it repaired and if so how much might it be? Or would I be better cutting my losses and buying a new one?
I've had no problems before.
Any opinions would be appreciated.

I don't know what the capacitor does, but if it is just the tuner that is not working you could buy a digibox and plug it in.

They are relatively cheap.

I wouldn't have thought it worth trying to get a six year old device repaired, with the price of labour these days.

I had a problem a bit like this a while back with my Panasonic

Turned it off at the wall for a bit and retasrted it and ran through a full retuning again which seemed to fix it for me

The only other thing is to make sure you've definately noat acidently got it switched to analogue by mistake

Thanks Hopkirk I was thinking along those lines myself.
I just needed a second opinion.

Have tried all those things Jake but there is absolutely no signal being picked up.
Thanks anyway.
