Default Weird problem with cable TV reception on one TV.


wrote in message
oups.com...
One TV in the house gets interference on the higher channels (50 and
up). This has been happening for over a week now. One minute it's
fine, the next there is nothing but "snow," and static noise. There
seems to be no cause of this, and it does not effect any of the
other
TVs, 2 of which have premium cable and 3 that have basic, just like
the one with the problem. There was interference on a radio that
plugs into an outlet, but not with a radio that runs off batteries,
even though they are in the same place. The radio problem, however,
was bad about a week ago, but then the interference just stopped.
This TV problem goes on all day and night long. We have no new
appliances or anything like that. Any ideas?


Unless the radio interference exactly coincides with the TV problem, I
think you have a TV tuner problem. Try running the signal into an old
VCR and use that as your tuner and see if the problem goes away.
