LED Bulbs
I just installed new LED bulbs. Turn light on the TV goes off.

The LED BOARDS that have INPUT DC VOLTAGE regulator chips installed on the may emit RFI interference that will over ride the TV signal input especially if you are using the OTA antenna.
The boards I ended up do not have the extra chips on them that cause the RFI signals.
The LED BOARDS will most definitely be the problem. I bought a whole bunch of these one brand without trying ONE first and ended up with 12 or so of these in use. Blanked out my HDTV, WX RADIO, and my HAM RADIO VHF ops. The company that made the LEDs told me it was their BUCK BOOST circuit causing the problem but that they were in specs with the FCC as long as they had a statement saying this may happen. Much like the garage door operations using certain cell phone haha...
I ended up wiring in a DUAL SWITCH on my ceiling light where I had one good LED board install in the first position and the RFI ones I already had in the second position. This way I could still use my RFI LED boards when we wasn't watching HDTV... thought they would eventually burn out but all LEDs are still running including the one that emit RFI.
My suggestion to all was only by ONE when you start replacing all of them and try it out. Then go buy the other $150 dollars worth of boards after that.
