HELP - Poor quality picture but only on some channels on one TV

231 Views 1 Reply 2 Participants Last post by  fasteddielv
I am experiencing poor quality picture on some channels (42-53) on just one tv and cannot figure out why. If I switch to one of my modulated channels and view the same channel via a different source (e.g. my Tivo) the picture quality is great.


Since the picture quality is great on all other channels I have ruled out any cable quality issues.


I did my own wiring (all direct runs to the headend) using RG6 Quad and high quality Snap-N-Seal connectors.


The signal is basic CATV combined with the signal from my ChannelPlus modulator and is fine on 4 other TVs.


The tv with the problem is the longest run but only by about 20 feet.


Don't think I an under or over driving the signal to this location. It should be about 18db based on the amp/splitters/and cable lengths.


I don't have any "filters" in the system and use a couple of attenuators on the signal from the modulator to balance itbefore combining it with the CATV signal.


Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated,


bob

Trouble shooting 101.

Have you tried another TV on this jack in guestion?


If not run a temp. RG6 from jack in guestion to another TV and see if same problem exists. If another TV works on this jack you know somethings up with TV/tuner.


Do you have a VCR hooked up?

If so try using the VCR tuner and see if it works.
