TV Antenna

The signal for the TV continues to continually go up and then down. This makes it difficult to tune in any channel. Better with booster off but the signal is too low then.

It shouldn't even bring in the channels with the booster 'off'!

4 things I found out and learned after they went digital.

1.You have to turn the antenna dial VERY slowly to catch a signal. Unlike with the old analog you just gave it a spin and. I found inching it ever so slowly to catch the local signal works.

2. Trees DO block the 'digital' signal. If you are parked covered with trees you WILL have a hard time. Until you can directional it between the trees.

3. I fought with a 'new' flat screen TV I bought for weeks trying to get a good signal thinking it was the areas where I was parked. Until one CG 'everyone' was getting all the channels but mine kept going in and out.........found out it was THE TV connection. I took it to a repair shop and replaced the antenna coax board for $60 bucks and voila I got all the channels free and clear. Repair show says they see a lot come in for this.

And lastly I have bought a few flat screen TV's now for the RV and NOT all of them are the same as to how well a signal is received and how many channels you will get.

I have a real small VISIO that will get 30 channels when the larger Sylvania can only get the bare minimum of 6 all while parked in the same place, same antenna.:(

Oh ya and one time I thought it was were I was parked and the dang introduction to digital and all I had to do was buy a new coax cable and that fixed all the in and out of the signal. The cables DO get tired and digital just won't have anything to do without a perfect connection!
