Isn't This Just Weird?
Hi, All;
I had been getting interference on channel 6, probably due to the local radio stations transmitting on 88 MHz, so I went out and bought a [cheap] FM filter. The filter worked pretty well to clear up the noise on ch. 6 but it blocked all of the upper channels past six. So I removed the filter, put everything back the way it was, and I thought everything would be fine. Ha! The video went bad on all stations and the VCR is totally useless. Well, actually, it's a combined VCR/DVD player and while the VCR is so much crap the DVD player still works perfectly. Has anybody ever heard of a VCR going bad because of a $5.00 filter that was only installed for a few minutes? Ron |
