Re: [Cable] Could FM Towers be the Problem?


FM frequencies
The only channels those FM towers should really affect is is frequencies between 88-108, which is analog channels 95-97.

The rest of the issues just sound like things caused by low signal, poor wiring, bad splitters, and aren't directly related to the signal output of the towers.

What TV channels do you get with nothing connected to the TV?

with nothing connected to the tv...I get 69, 63,53,46,36,32,30,23,11,05...all those come in to some degree...69,53,36,23 come in fairly clear...the others have lots of snow or distortion but I can tell what they are

Well if they are that close they are likely seeing spurious harmonics as well which close by can be qute strong, though within FCC specs at X regulation distance.

So a lot of multiples of those frequencies as well.

Harmonics of FM channels should show up as noise on a TV video display, not clear or semi-clear video on other channels to an unconnected TV like the OP is seeing.
