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?

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...

Have you tried what several people have told you to do - turn off the antenna booster?

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.

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


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.

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.
