TV Antenna Problem

Terry W. · 06-30-2013, 04:50 PM

OK I'm stumped. The TV in living area and bedroom both work fine. There a antenna connectiom and 120volt connection in the basement. When I connect the TV from the bedroom outside I get a LowSignal message on screen and no picture or sound.

Pull it out of the wall and redo the connector.

I bought one of these,

I've re-done all the connectors in the trailer and now I get great reception everywhere.

Did you switch the short coax around near the booster to feed the outside location, also there you can switch to satellite........

Hey Ron Didn't switch any thing found the coax center lead too short replaced it and it works most the time now works best when main tv is also on. things that make you go Hummmmm. There is a spliter in the basement that goes to the connection in there. Now one other question which is the front of a Winegard ant with wingman on it. I figure it is the Wingman side.

Correct .... the Wingman is the front. The wingman works great (on boosting UHF channels) but must be aimed a little more precisely.

Terry W. Howdy;

Check ALL of the coax connectors. if you have 1
that is loose you will not get a good feed for the tv.
Ask me how I figured that one out

.
I had to take the base loose from the roof and tighten the
connector from the base to the trailer .....
I used a spare length of coax to hook to each connection
and ran continuity checks with a multi-meter. Most of my connections
were only twisted on about 2 or 3 turns and left that way

The Stolfitz kid struck again ...

OK problem seems to be fixed. Thanks to Scot & Hankaye. It was coax problems. replaced to section and it is working fine. See this site does work.
