tv

On both my t.v.s on one channel only I have snow.I am on a cable system and have checked other campers tv. They have a clear channel. All my other channels are perfect. Have turned off heaters. Any suggestions?
  • Turn off tv antenna booster and then rescan for channels. The booster interferes with cable. I assume you have set the tv to cable and not antenna.

    X2, TV booster blocks reception when you are hooked up to cable.

    If it is only one channel and only that channel, is it possible the other campers are not watching that channel?

    Sometimes on cable TV there are channels your TV will scan, but can not "Decode" or to be more precise de-encrypt. These are premimum channels and you need to pay to play that programming.

    To be more precise, the little switch not only turns the power on to the amplifier it switches between the cable and antenna inputs. In other words, the cable input is disconnected in the on position.
  • On a cable system. Other campers tv are ok. Have tried rebooking tv same thing. Un pluged anything pu
    Plugged in.no luck. It's a local channel. Its weird that only one channel is effected. Guess I just live with it. Thanks to all.
  • It could be something to do with that site. Have enough cable to run to another sites cable connection? If so, ask a neighbor to see if you can try it for a couple minutes. At least that way, you will know if it's your site or your rig.

    Have you tried what several people have told you to do - turn off the antenna booster?
  • Not sure I understand about the booster being checked. Wouldn't none of the channels be working if the booster was on. He's saying all channels work great other than one. Seems like that's not a booster issue since no other channels are affected.

    That's what I am understanding as well...
