Picture is great when you can get one. Hard to keep from loosing it. Seams it always goes pixel or disappears at the best part of a program.
it can be the TV.
I found out purely by accident that every flat screen TV has different capabilities of reception.
I bought a second smaller flat screen for the MH. I splurged and bought an expensive brand name one on the second go around.
The first TV I fought and fought the reception in the MH thinking this is what switching to digital was going to be all about.:(
I turned the new second TV on in my SAME MH, parked in the SAME CG spot.....voila, perfect reception and 20 more channels.
So it can be the TV itself.
Talking with other campers in the CG I was at we started interchanging TV's to see if in fact the TV itself could be the problem and we found it did.
When I gave my new little Vizio to my camping neighbors that were having problems once plugged into their MH they immediately got good reception and tons of channels. Where their TV could not.
And more so with the off brands. Which is why when I saw a giant jumbo flat screen on sale at Walmart today with a name I couldn't even pronounce I walked right on by it! :B
IMHO these flat screen TV's are produced using a coax circuit board based on the fact that 99% of the buyers are going to be using cable. NOT an antenna like we do in our RV's.
