We just got a new TV and now when watching dvds, it's as if the picture is being superimposed over whatever tv channel the cable is set to at the moment. The tv show moves across the screen from left to right, and flickers, while the dvd is playing otherwise normally. Fortunately there is no sound from the tv show. We tried unplugging the cable from the tv, which fixes the problem but makes the picture quality of the dvd much more grainy. This never happened with our old tv, so either we hooked the new Dynex tv up wrong, or else there's a problem with the tv itself. I assume the problem is in the connection. I'd appreciate your advice. Thanks.
This is the best solution for your problem as a 40 year experience with wires etc. Go to the source of your cable signal connector . Open it and clean the terminals with emery paper , sand the end of the cable shiny clean from corrosion , get a new barrel connectors with gold terminals if possible lengthen the ends of the cable , insert and tighten good, use thick rg-16 or rg 40 cable with good insulation ends crimped professionally with a crimpier or buy ready made , not from dollar store. Get a gold plated professional splitter if you need one or two , it will cost about 15 or more each . Make the cable runs as short as possible, using the thick good cables. If needed get a signal magnifier. From radio shack or the source etc. Connect them good and tight . Ground the splitters . Problem solved , you will get crystal clear channel 2 to 7 including 3 and 4 . Isolate the TV cable from other cables and power wires. Vitally
