Hey all,
Last week I watched golf on TV as I always like to do. I get my TV signals (DTV) over the air using an antenna I have situated on my roof. Well, upon turning the TV on, I get an excellent HDTV signal with no problems. At around an hour and a half in, the signal pooped out and started to fail.......then it failed altogether!!. ARGH.....right at the end of the tournament!.
This Sunday, I wanted to watch the Barclays tournament final and of course at the beginning, I got a perfect signal and sure enough, an hour and a half into it the signal started to poop out once again!. The first time this happened, I thought that there might be something outside interrupting the signal but when it happened at exactly the same time and the same way the week after, NOW I have my suspicions!
I think I have narrowed it down to some sort of short in my antenna's amplifier that slowly heats up and then causes problems with the antenna amp, causing the signal power to weaken. It's related to the rotor motor and the power thats used to make the antenna turn on the roof.
Anyone got some clues that I could check on??
ps.....It's got nothing to do with the TV (I'm convinced of this now). It's antenna related!
