	I'm having a peculiar problem with my FM tuner. I have
my cable-TV feed hooked directly to the tuner's antenna terminals
(75 ohm connection) so I can receive FM cable. The problem occurs
when I listen to one particular station. Shortly after tuning to
the station, the left channel output stops and only some occasional
popping sounds come from the speaker. Tuning away from the station
to another and then retuning to the first solves the problem, but
only for a few seconds.
	The station I'm trying to receive is non-local and can
only be found on the cable. The audio level from this station
is considerably lower than other (local) stations. (I don't know
how the signal strength compares, my strength meter quit several
years ago.)
	Since local stations come in fine and all other sources
(tape, turntable) have no problems the problem must be in the
tuner section.

	Does anyone out there have any suggestions about what
could be wrong? Is my receiver just letting me know that it's
sick and dying? (It's about 8 years old)
