LOSING OTHER CHANNELS WHEN CONNECTING UNIT TO EXISTING COAX NETWORK
- There may be a channel conflict. Check the unit’s Frequency and Major/Minor settings and
make sure they do not match any other equipment in the network.
- The unit’s signal output may oversaturate other signals on the network. To attenuate the signal
from the unit, in the menu go to Advanced > RF Atten, then change from 0db, in 5db to 10db
increments, and retest. Also, consider amplifying the other signals in the network to achieve
ideal balance.
NOT ALL OF MY TVS PICK UP THE CHANNEL(S) IN A NETWORK WITH MULTIPLE TVS
- There may be a channel conflict. Check the unit’s Frequency and Major/Minor settings and
make sure they do not match any other equipment in the network.
- There may be signal loss on the coax network between the unit and the affected TVs. To check
for this, remove the unit from the network and connect it directly to the affected TV. Then,
rescan for channels.
- If the above test works, add an amplifier to your network before the affected TVs.
MY TV DOESN’T ACCEPT DIGITAL SIGNAL (ANALOG ONLY)
- Many older TVs (sold before 2009) only accept analog cable or over-the-air signals. These TVs
will require a digital converter box. Typically, these are sold as Digital to Analog converter boxes
or set-top boxes.
- If using a converter box, set the STANDARD on the unit’s menu to match the type of converter
box. (For Over-the-Air, set the unit to ATSC. For Cable, set the unit to J83B.)
ON AIR LED LIGHT IS BLINKING OR OFF (POWER LIGHT IS ON)
- Check resolution settings on the source. Recommended setting is 1080p FIXED or 720p FIXED. If
the source is a computer, set the display to “Extended mode” or “Extend these displays” and set
to 1920x1080 or 1280x720.
- On the unit, go to Advanced > Fixed EDID setting, and change from Auto to match the fixed
resolution setting on the source. For instance, if the source is set to 1080p Fixed, change Fixed
EDID to 1080p.
