cant get TV in master to work..

[mowin]

Cant get my tv in the master to work. I'm using the antenna,and I got the tv in the lr to work. Any ideas? The button for cable/attenna is in the master, and no matter if is on or off I can't get the tv to recognize any channels.

I am glad it all worked out good for you. Little problems like that can be very frustrating. Happy travels.

I found the problem, the short cable I was using between the tv and wall was bad. Swapped it out and I now have a working tv in the master.

Thanks for everyones help.

The button just activates the booster on the antenna head, so that would work for both. Are you able to check the Jack connection? All settings on the tv set correctly, i.e. antenna vs. cable, etc?

Well I'd like to say they are, but??? I got the living room tv to work after doing a channel scan, but the master tv is giving me some grief. I'll try hooking it up in the lr to see if I can get it to work. If it works there, then I've got issues w the master wiring. If not, it's all me. Can't be my fault, can it?:B

This is the power supply to the booster built into the antenna.
Sounds like it is not connected in the correct locations.
Look at the manual for the sensar antenna for proper cable hook ups.

Cable would normally go from the antenna to the video switch then back to the set.
The video switch could have several inputs and outputs. If the cable did not go to the switch first you would not be able to use DVD/VCR or satellite connection.

Where the cable from the tv hooks to has a button. A little green light comes on when its pushed. This is in the master.

I'll connect the master tv in the lr and see if I can get it to work, if It does, then I'll know theres something fishy with the masters wiring. If it doesn't, then I'm doing something wrong.

I have 3 tv hookups. Surprisingly, all three work with OTA ant. When hooked to cable from the outside, only LR set works. I can hook cable to outside satellite, and the bedroom will work. IDK, if the basement works on either outside hookup.

I've concluded that the kid with baggy pants, and cap on backward, is the expert tv wiring fellow at most factories.

I think if you take the time to follow up with all connections, you will eventually get it figured out.

New to us FW. The tv was in our previous tt and worked fine. I tried scanning for channels several times.

Seeing the button for cable/antenna in in the master, does that mean the coax goes to the master first than to the lr? If so does that eliminate loose connections inside the walls as the tv in the lr works fine?

Has it ever worked? No, could mean cables connected up wrong.
Yes, could indicate that the TV settings are incorrect. Verify input, then scan for channels.
