I have the Comcast "Digital Starter" package. I have a cable box connected to my living room TV. I also have tv's connected directly to the cable in the kitchen and bedroom without a cable box. The two TV's without boxes have a fuzzy picture. I just wanted the analog channels. I don't really need the digital options in these rooms. And I don't want to have to hook a box to an undercabinet LCD TV in the kitchen or pay for two more boxes. My cable comes in from outside, goes to a 120v amplifier/splitter, and from there to each room in the house. I'm an electrician and installed all the cable myself. Any ideas, or suggestions?
Well Steve It's not that hard to find out why yo got fuzzy pictures in those 2 rooms As it maybe just a simple bad wiring Process of elimination I'll give yo few tips:
First I have seen bad cables made by professional installers simply shorting shield or inadequate shield or bad crimps I only recommend snap and seal crimps with RG-6 (double or quad shield) There is a learning curve in how to make your own cables but not hard by any means Correct tools is a must see picture (Stripper, Crimper and criimp connectors)
- Make sure signal coming from cable utility line is good (by viewing quality on screen) - If yo use amplified splitter use known good cable to check quality of each outlet
