Hi. I had a TV ariel but it got blown off my roof. So I split my TV into my second TV room.
I got a good Coaxal Wire (Sky & NTL grade) not a cheep-o one at Woolies :pp
It worked ok (image when split was 85% clear) but ok as the TV 2 was only for Kids after school & recording onto VHS.
This week the image is 35%. No-one has done anything to the wire. We looked at the ends & re-did them just incase. Still only 35% on TV 2. TV 1 is 90% as it was always.
My setup:
NTL wire (after the Box) into TV room 1. Goes into a white plastic triange spliter (ok not the best way but it works)... Then wire from Spliter (Point 1) to VCR 1 & the other spliter (Point 2) is a 35-40 foot wire (same high grade Coaxal) to VCR 2.
When this went from 85% to 35%
I removed the Spliter. Set the NTL wire to go directly to VCR2 (via 35 foot wire) & it is still 35%.
- I have re-tuned the TV 2, but still nothing.
- I have moved VCR 2 into VCR1 (and it works) so not a Broken VCR
- TV plays VHS tapes ok. (TV not broken)
It is strange. As the wire CANT be gone as there is a 35% TV signal
BUT also a 95% QVC (or anything via NTL Box). So how come 1 channel gets to TV & not Ch 1 - 5?
Any ideas?
Thanks
