Hey, I tried searching for what I'm having problems with but I didn't see any posts that were similiar. If I overlooked the results or didn't search properly please redirect me.
I have a Rear Projection LCD TV (SONY KDF-E50A10). It's a very good TV, and I am happy with it.
I recently hooked up a box so I could receieve the digital channels that my parents get on their existing service. At first I couldn't get all the channels because my cable was too old.
It was no suprise to me that the cable in the wall was old, I thought thats what explained the terrible picture quality on regular cable. (Aparantly the digital signals use a newer cable called RG6) So I bought a 50ft RG6 cable from monoprice. I was expecting a clear digital signal on my tv, but I get a static dull picture that looks no better than my original regular cable that I had.
Is it possible that I bought a cheap cable? Is it because my TV is too big? Is the cable too long? My CRT TV upstairs looks crisp and clear and my new cable is plugged into the same splitter. What could be the problem, I can't post links yet.
I bought
RG6 F Type Quad Shielded Coaxial 18AWG CL2 Rated 75Ohm Cable - 50ft
Thanks in advance for any help.
