    Default RF switch problems.

    I have a 26inch Insignia TV, But the RF switch's I have hooked up are causing it to be real scribbly and not very good, Do I just need to buy new RF's switches or whats the problem? I've moved them all around for a clear picture but it stays for a little while then back again.

    Because it makes no attempt to be great, it is therefore extremely great.

    I had a TV that the RF connector on the back of the TV came loose, causeing the same issue.

    so maybe its not the game connectors, but the TV.

    If you have RF switches hooked into other RF switches, the collective mass of all of them may be weakening the signal too much. Also, the collective mass could be picking up interference from signals traveling through the air.

    You can separate them out and reduce interference using this device.


    If you get that box, you can further enhance the picture by replacing each RF switchbox with this an "RCA to Coaxial adapter":
