What to do if there is no TV signal?

Reconnect all cables at the back of the TV or box, making sure that the cables are all properly connected (you want to avoid loose cables that could cause signal loss) and if you have a signal booster connected, try removing that and plug the antenna cable straight into your receiver, recorder or TV.

Does coax affect signal?

Using too much coaxial cable can result in as much as a 1/3 of the signal being lost. Less is more with coaxial cables. Also do not coil the coaxial cable as this can cause signal loss.

Which coaxial cable has the least amount of signal loss?

For long cable runs (100 feet+), using Cable Type 400 or even better Cable Type 600 Low Loss Coaxial Cable is best for least amount of signal loss due to cabling.

How does a non amplified TV antenna work?

This system runs 12-volt power up the coax to the antenna-mounted amplifier and allows TV signal back down. For the non-amplified antenna, you’ll need a amplifier block. This amplifies the signal in the block, and doesn’t run any power up the coax. There are other Winegard plates, too, designed for “satellite” connections.

Why do I get No signal from my TV antenna?
