 Topic: DVD/TV problemPosted: 09 Apr 2016 at 12:33am |

Well.. We figured out the hot water heater. Thanks for the help! Now we need help with the dvd player. The sound comes through the speakers but there is no signal to the tv for picture. We have tried switching between AV and component but can't get it to work. It appears the wires are connected correctly. Confused!!!

The video from the entertainment system would normally be a yellow composite cable, not component. Make sure you have a cable running between the yellow video out on the entertainment system and the yellow video in on your tv. Depending on the tv, the source selection could be labeled various ways.

Is your antenna amplifier on? You should see a white plate near the TV cable outlets with an LED and a small pushbutton switch. If the LED is not on, the amplifier is turned off; press the button to turn it on. |

This antenna has 2 things working against it: 1. It is Omni-directional. 2. It is mounted low. There is a saying amongst radio enthusiasts: "An Omni-directional antenna performs equally poorly in all directions". Contrasted with a multi-element yagi design which will have "gain" in the direction that it is pointed. The Pod's antenna is also very low and at times may not have good "line of sight" to the TV station's transmitting antenna. If you are willing to spend a little money and do a certain amount of set up work each time you camp, I can offer suggestions. The Pod's antenna should work OK - just not great. If you are not receiving anything, anywhere - that could be a problem. |

It is a low mount omni. I figured it could be a problem and I'm willing to try something. It does very well in some places but not where I expected. I'm likely going to carry my Direct TV box and buy a dome satellite antenna. But an antenna would be nice if I can figure out a replacement. Oh, my antenna button is on, so that's not the problem.

Yagi antennas are not a panacea either. Unidirectional means mechanically rotating the antenna, potentially every time you change the channel. An ideal solution would be a yagi antenna that self-aligns, but it would have to be computer-controlled and provided with the channel frequency on every channel change, i.e. prohibitively expensive. An omnidirectional antenna with an amplifier is a good compromise, although I do agree that it should support telescoping upward when in use.
If someone could figure out a telescoping omni antenna solution, I'd be interested. |

So would I, TheBum. I improved my reception by re searching the channels and giving my coax cables a little extra tightening twist. But, it's still weak.

If you have $400 burning a hole in your pocket...
http://www.winegard.com/rayzarauto?gclid=CJCZ1sL_i8wCFYsmhgodglAA6g It still doesn't telescope, but it at least steers mostly automatically. Here's another more palatable option if you don't mind steering the antenna manually: http://smile.amazon.com/KING-OA8200-Antenna-Built-Signal/dp/B004VF48YO I may have to consider this one. |
