tv tiling

Why does my tv tile when the pump or the furnace are running? We are connected to shore power. Thank You.
  • I'm 51% sure that pixelation is signal related, not power. My two cents would be to look for something that creates interference.

    Does it happen on all channels?
    I'd guess some channels would be less immune to interference - because of both frequency and signal strength.
  • battery is disconnected ?

    connect the battery your problem might go away

    the battery acts like a giant capacitor absorbing the voltage spikes/emf noise created by the water pump and being broadcast on your 12v wiring thru out the RV
  • Has it always done this? Your tele is plugged into 110 when it does this right? I have a theory but will wait for others more knowledgable.
  • Yes it pixelates. Right now we are plugged into 30 amp service with the battery shut off.
  • do you mean 'pixelate' aka 'breakup'

    its interference from the motor, is your TV 12v and plugged into a 12v wall Antenna outlet, the pump is putting interference onto the 12v feeding the TV

    or is 120v
    how are you powering the TV
