I know a few of you out there are more on top of these things, but I have a mystery. I have several old analog TVs that are attached to the digital converter boxes.
We have an old fashioned antenna on the house with a rotor, so I can change the position of the antenna, without having to get on the roof.
We have an amplifier in the attic. The attic gets super hot in the summer.
We also are pretty much surrounded by trees.
Recently, I began to not be able to get a local station. Turning the antenna didn't help. I figured it was because of a hot attic, or maybe the trees. But all the other local stations were coming in well.
The small TV in the kitchen is not connected to the antenna, but rather has "rabbit ears" on top. It gets the station.
So....we were going to try putting rabbit ears on one of the TVs that had been connected to the roof antenna. We plugged it into the converter box. And the station came in fine! But then I started playing around with the cable that goes into the converter box (instead of using rabbit ears) and found that with a slight adjustment of it's tightness/looseness, we could get the station. But.........now we can get the station in the other 2 TVs that are also hooked to the antenna. How can that be?? How can fixing the cable to one digital converter box make reception better in all the other TVs???
Sorry if I'm confusing you. It doesn't make sense to me. Maybe it was totally coincidence that we started getting the one station and it had nothing to do with playing with the cable.......but I have no idea.
Any ideas?
