Summary
If you are still experiencing problems with your TV picture, try bypassing all external equipment to test the signal and cable.
Solution
| Bypass Equipment | ||
|---|---|---|
 | Turn off your television and external video equipment (DVR, DVD player, etc.) | |
 | Disconnect the primary coax cable from the device where it is connected. | |
| On your TV, disconnect whatever cord occupies the coax port. | |
 | Connect the primary coax cable to your TV's coax port. | |

If this resolves your picture problem, there is likely a settings problem in your video equipment. Consult the Owner's Manual or manufacturer website for each device.
