TV antenna signal problem

Brand new Puma 30DBSS. Ok, Tv will work normal off the antenna until I turn certain lights on. It seems that all LED lights on the ceiling that cause the TV to lose signal from the antenna when these lights are switched on. Any ideas? They are factory installed LED lights. The TV is a Visio that I installed.

  • It's RFI radiated out of the switching regulator in LED itself, and while it is using the DC wire as its antenna, all that garbage is gone within a few feet of the lamp. It's the antenna picking up the RFI directly from the lamp, not into the preamp via its DC input, and that's what makes it so hard to kill.

    It you're a techie type you can get in there and do a few things to the LED itself that may help or cure it, but there's no slam-dunk fix
  • I has been mentioned previously that some LED lights cause RF signal interference. Probably what is happening to yours. I don't have a cure but first thing I would do is insure the antenna booster is on a different circuit from the lights.
