Hey, all.
I just (as in only 45 minutes ago) got my hands on a Performa 5200CD, a machine of which Low End Mac states is a Road Apple that should be avoided at all costs.
It's got the TV tuner in it, and I'm a bit lost right now.
I can get channels 1-13 just fine, but as soon as I hit 14 and up, it refuses to show me anything and just shows static.
Is this an issue with something software-wise that I haven't touched yet, or is it a problem with the tuner itself?
All I know off hand is it's a System 7.6.1 box, Apple Video Player 1.6, and not much else about it.
I don't have any way of making recovery disks/OS disks in general so I'm a bit deadlocked if I need to wipe the thing and start over.
But I'm loving using my universal TV remote to turn it on and off and switch channels...
Cheers...

... Gack!
Disregard this post, I found the Auto Tune function and the settings for "Cable" mode... the thing was locked to Antenna mode.
Cheers

New question about the Performa 5200CD's infrared.
Any good remotes? My universal remote is working *okay* with the Performa when it's set for a Sony TV, but the numbers are all screwed up when I try to use the number pad on the remote. Power, channel, and volume controls work just fine, though.
