    i have a question sir..our local cable now was upgraded to digital signal,they installed digital box so that the reception of tv is nice and clear.. since i have one extra tv i connect it to local cable without box,it is very blurry now. what is the alternative solution to this? can i use rf modulator or video converter instead of their digital box? i want to try cheaper because their box was so expensive

    • @NorthcoasterHobby
      @NorthcoasterHobby  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      The blurry channels you're getting may be unenctypted analog cable channels that can be received with the TV's built-in tuner. A digital converter box such as the one in my video is not useable for cable TV channels. The boxes from cable companies are proprietary, and needed to receive the digital cable subscription channels. No other box will work for that.

      Usually pressing the 'OK' button on the remote control brings up a channel list. Pressing the 'EPG' button will bring up listings for the channels.

      Not necessarily. You can connect the box to a TV (old or new) with the RCA plugs (red, white, yellow) or the RF out (with coaxial TV cable).

      Its a CM7003 which you showed in your video. Box does a scan finds all the stations which I get 45 to 65 depending on atmospheric conditions.
      So now WBBZ 67.1 (RF07) in the line up of found channels. As your flipping thru the channels. Get to 67.1 it starts to search with it says right on the tv screen. You try to change to 67.2 and keep moving. It’s locked/or frozen on 67.1.
      The only way to get out of it is unplug the coaxial cable going into the input of the converter box. Then pulling the power plug suppling power to the box. Trick it that there is no 67.1 channel. I then power the box up again and get thru the 67.1 to 67.6 channels.
      I wrote to Channel Master in Arizona, don’t want to know about it. No answer.
      I got other converter boxes not a problem.
      The software inside this CM7003 is at fault.

      Try moving the antenna around and rescan. place the antenna in or near a window.
      This website can help locate available channels in your area:
      www.antennaweb.org/
      Enter your zip code
      Check the box that says 'Antenna will be installed 30' or more above ground level.'
      A map will display showing the locations of broadcast towers in your area, and can be used to aim your antenna.

      Try moving your antenna to different locations. Run a channel scan each time you move the antenna.
