Unit finds no channels at all

[mumble_myopia]

I have a unit which refuses to retune. Others in the same position (coax and power) tune fine. Can I assume it is "dead forever" (it plays ok)? I have tried a factory reset and no joy. I take it there are no replaceable components I could try swapping - I don't mind trying (nothing lost if it fails).

You don't know where the problem actually is. The tuner cans are a pig to source and replace, but might not be responsible. You could try a hot air gun to reflow a potentially cracked solder joint, but IMO you would be better off sourcing another HDR-FOX on the second hand market.
