TV interference

[GLITCH]

Hi
Ive had a wireless network set up in my home for a few months now without any problems. Just this afternoon, My tv started to act up... I dont have cable tv or satellite or anything cause i dont watch that much tv, so i have an antenna so that i can atleast get news and the such. Now, certain channels (including the one that i mainly watch) are getting a picture, but the sound is not what the tv channel should be... for example, when i turned on the tv to watch the nightly news, i could see the picture, but the sound was from what i believe is a weather radio station. another channel's sound is from a classical music station. This is the first time since setting up my wireless network that i have had problems. I know it is the wi-fi, because when i cut the power to the router, the sound on the tv goes back to normal. Does anyone have any suggestions that could have caused this to happen suddenly? and if so, How would you say i go about fixing it? Oh, also when i was trying to fix the problem i tried to change the channel to my router, moving the antenna, and moving the router. Nothing changed. I did notice though that if i unscrewed the cable from the antenna and held it just barely touching the part it screws into, it sound went back to normal, but when i pressed the cable onto the jack harder as if i was screwing it back in, the sound went crazy again.

Please help!

Any strong winds around there recently? Your TV antenna probably rotated slightly and
you have to twist it back and throw a screw into the pole to hold it there.

If the TV antenna twisted it became perfectly aligned for a good interference blend of
the router waves and the TV receiving waves.

Mmmmm, interesting, we are suffering dreadful interference on British tv at the moment. I think the technical name for it is Britney Spears and Jessica Simpson.

you could try changing the channel that your wifi router and recievers use...

Thank you all for replying!
Im not sure why, but it fixed itself. Its not doing it anymore... hmmmm...

Spider, its the type of antenna that sits ontop of the tv (rabbit ears)... It must have been one of those quirky things that can happen.......

Snurfen, Funny, ive had the misfortune of coming across that type of interference also..... hmmmm.... I wonder how we fix that? :rotflmao:

Thank you all again for helping... Im not sure why it did that, but as i said, its not doing it anymore... dont know what im going to do if it comes back though... anyway, thank you all again!

Glad you got it sorted out.

I tell ya, if that happened to me...I'd freak out! That's the weirdest thing I ever heard happening with antennae.
dont know what im going to do if it comes back
If it does, look for a pattern as in time of day and how long it lasts.

Aliens, satellites, remote viewing!!! They may be after your mind! :D

Or...the authorities are gunnin' a parabolic microphone on your windows (the glass "windows") ;)

hahaha! yeah im thinking it was the little green men......

[Spider]

little green men......
Propaganda has taught us they are grey. Green was out when the moon=cheese thing was dropped. :)

We all know the little space men, whatever color they may be, is all a distraction from the truth. The REAL aliens, of course, are made up of energy, which is what is interfering with your reception. Get out your Tin Foil Hats, people, here are two alien revelations;
Fact: Spider is an alien. Evidence: Only an energy-based alien would put "MYSIG" in morse code as their CTH signature.
Fact: The moon landing was a conspiracy setup by The Greeting Card Companies. Evidence: The moon landing made millions of people look more closely at the moon. When you look at the moon, you think of a date with your partner whilst looking at the twinkling stars - and the moon. When it's your partner's birthday, you have to buy them a card. When you get engaged - more cards. When you get married... cards for your partner, for the in-laws, when you have children there's more cards. Cards I tell you!

Did you realize Hallmark spelled backwards is kramllaH?

I don't know what that means but I'm sure it's bad for us! :eek:

Tin foil hat on! Thanks for the reminder.

Anyone know how I an get through the airport scanners wearing my tfh? I'm off to the Canary islands next Tuesday and want full protection when in the air.

Looking for patterns is a very good suggestion. It could even be something as abstract as some kids with a massive sound system cranked up parking near your house. Back in the good old days of outlaw cb radio in the UK, the local government interference officer got quite friendly with some of us renegade breakers. Some of the stories about tv interference he told us were quite amazing.

One family got terrible trouble every Thursday around 7pm for an hour and again around 10pm, spring and summer only. Turns out the local vintage bike club used to meet at a nearby pub. During those months the pre-war bikes were dusted off and run up to the pub. The ancient magneto's were causing the zap-zap-zap on the tv's as the guys turned up and left. thing about these old bikes is, you could melt three or four of them down and make a 'Blade, or some other useful tool.

you dont know about the Kramllah?:surprised

Must be a Russian secret, 12 hits in M$ search engine (http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?q=Kramllah&FORM=QBHP) and 10 in Google (http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&q=Kramllah&btnG=Google+Search&meta=)

We've stumbled on a secret society in Russia!

We've stumbled on a secret society in Russia!The Kramllah is actually the Kremlin's version of Area 51. Don't you read ANY Mel-Gibson-inspired conspiracy theory tabloids? Elvis would be turning in his grave (if he were actually dead...).

[Spider]

Don't you read ANY Mel-Gibson-inspired conspiracy theory tabloids?
You don't mean that ridiculous movie he did where he was a man-of-God and was
running around that house chasing an alien and screaming?

I don't remember the name of that flic because I endeavored to eradicate it from my mind.
Mel did a few bad movies but that one was the king-of-stink!

[Snurfen]

He's only done two good films, "Mad Max" (original) and "See you Jimmy" (I think it was called "Braveheart" in some parts of the world).

Everything else he has done has been pure pap.

Payback (http://imdb.com/title/tt0120784/) was very cool.

[z1p]

I'd add Hamlet (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099726/) to that list... I thought he did a good job in that film.

The Kramllah is actually the Kremlin's version of Area 51.

Thats what they want you to think.... i believe it is much much deeper than that. It could possibly have ties to Shambala...........
