->ALL<- Questions and Answers about Broadcast Tv Reception and More.

Coax cables inside and outside walls and etc. can be bad.

An easy way to find out is to use a long length of known to be good coax and jump around coax.

Look inside the connector on the end of coax , where the center wire is , If the foil shield / shied wires are pushed in toward the center conductor wire or wrapped around the center conductor wire , this is a signal short out.

Remove any shied wires that are wrapped around or touching or close to the center conductor wire.

Push the outer foil shield away from the center conductor wire.
