Alright I have my TV1 in the living room hooked up via HDMI cable. 2nd TV in the bedroom was an old small 12" thing that picked up reception via direct coax cable on channel 30 as the receiver was set to Air 30. Got a hand me down (from the in-laws) Samsung DLP and was going to put this in the basement. Installed a splitter in the coax line and the Samsung has "cable" and "air" coax hook up ports. Hooked up the air and got the TV on air mode channel 30. Sound comes in perfect but the picture if all "squiggled" up. When I pull up the Menu for the TV it comes in fine. So figured I bring the 12" downstairs to make sure connection is good. YEP, comes in perfectly. Any thoughts??

Thanks!

You can switch the output on your second tuner to a "cable" signal. Doing this may help clear things up. You can also try changing the channel from 30 to 60 or whatever it takes to clear up the picture. To do this, you need to go into the menu on the satellite receiver and change the settings. Menu-6-1-5 will bring you into the Modulator setup screen. You will see a split screen with TV2 being on the right. If you move over to the left you can select which signal you want that tuner to broadcast (cable or air) and also make changes to the channel the output broadcasts. Make sure after you complete these changes that you select done in order for the changes to take affect. I hope this helps and just out of curiousity, where are you located?

Hey thanks for the reply LakeDocktor. Tried it, tried it tried it.

Cable 73, air 30, air 60 on the modulator set up. switching TV back and forth from cable to air with the associated channels. Switching inputs with the coax cable (as there is an "air" and a "cable"). Powering down receiver and allowing it to "re-boot". Odd thing. Did a channel search on the TV and it came up with "cable 1 and air 1". Well those don't exist on the modulator setup to try. STUMPED!!

Small older TV still works on the associated channels on same coax cable. Next is to drag the TV up stairs and hook it up HDMI to see if it will work then. I don't know???

Is it possible the Samsung is looking for a digital picture but is receiving analog?

I had this exact same problem when I upgraded to an LCD from a tube TV on tuner 2 but can't remember how I fixed it!

The TV should differentiate between the digital and analog signal if the TV has the built in ATSC tuner. Did you try removing the splitter that you had splitting the TV2 output and have it directly connected to the DLP TV in the basement? It could be possible the your RF (coax) port is bad on the back of the TV. Where are you located? If you are anywhere close to me I could always come take a look at it.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
