You've probably got loose coax connectors somewhere in the trailer. Start behind the TV at the booster, take it out of the wall, check the coax connectors, make sure they are secure on the coax and that they are screwed in tight, follow every coax and check behind each faceplate. Somewhere, something is loose or not connected properly. Don't forget the bottom (and top) of the antenna.... There are connectors there also. Good luck

If one TV picture gets worse when you turn on the other one, it almost sounds like you have a problem with the antenna booster not amplifying the signal enough. But they seldom go bad. Of course, loose connections (or bad installations of the cable end connectors is the biggest cause).

I found one of the coax connection center wire was cut too short, instealled a new end and all was good. Also don't forget to check the connection on the ant. head itself on the roof and/or a chaffed coax wire somewhere touching on a piece of metal.

I actually had a bad coax cable. I only found it by connecting a portable antenna up to the tv, and then disconnected the booster and tried it there, until I finally found it was the cable from the antenna head into the rv.

this may answer the question about t.v. picture pixel when turning bedroom lights on. dealer says they have had to replace all of the l.e.d ceiling lights with new ones because of inteferance with t.v. signal on some keystone units guess that is next step hope its undar warranty have had it less than a year
