Troubleshooting

Interference

Please note the following common TV reception interferences:

Ignition effect

Black spots or vertical lines may appear. Screen jumps crazily or is very unstable.
This is commonly the result of car ignition system interference, neon lights, or other

forms of electrical interferences.

Ghost Shadows

This is the result of two signals : One being the original signal from the
antenna while the 2nd signal is a slightly delayed signal, normally the result of
bouncing off tall buildings or other obstructions. This problem might be corrected by
adjusting your outdoor antenna.

Flurries

Lots of tiny dots appears on your screen. This is the result of poor reception signals.
You may have to re-enforce your antenna signals.

note: If interferences occur while you are using a cable system, then the problem could be at the

cable source and not from your TV reception.
