Default Cable reception - cannot get channel 4

I have a really strange situation that is puzzling me.
I have cable TV the coax cable comes into the house and splits into three
lines and feed a TV in the living room, one in the bedroom and one in the
kitchen area. and I get excellent reception on all channels except channel
2 and 4.



This is a common oxidation issue, always happens to the lower channels
first.

You need to clean all of your connectors and jacks with Cramolin [AKA
DeoxIT]:

If that doesn't work, chop off all of the f-connectors and install new ones.
