I’m having trouble with my reception on one of the three televisions I have connected to an Antennas Direct ClearStream4 HDTV Antenna.

TV 1 – upstairs

TV 2 – basement

TV 3 - main level

The antenna is attic mounted and feeds 3 tvs thru two splitters. I splitter splits in the attic and feeds TV 1 and runs to a second splitter in the basement that feeds TV 2 and TV 3.

TV 2 and TV 1 pick up all the channels I want. There is no additional equipment connected to the coax line run to the 3rd tv that would inhibit its signal strength.

The channels I cannot receive are CBS, WGN, and PBS. Despite a very strong signal strength, between 60-90, these channels just will not display on the 3rd TV as they do on TVs 1 and 2. TV-3 is the furthest away, in cable length, from the antenna, but in order to eliminate some possibilities I moved TV 1 to the connection location that TV 3 uses and it will show all the channels. This leads me to believe that the signal strength is fine and it’s an issue with the television itself.

Are there any tricks to getting the TV to work with these channels? I’ve tried disconnecting the feed and running a channel search to clear the memory, then reconnecting the feed and searching again and it doesn’t help. The TV is an RCA Scenium 50” DLP that was bought in 2005.

Also, other channels come in just fine on TV 3 at the same signal strength, 65-90, as the channels that will not display, which further confuses me. I had an Antennas Direct PA18 Antenna Kit hooked up initially, but it was over amplifying the signal, according to their customer support, and was resulting in poor to no reception on all TVs.

My TVfool.com analysis is attached, if needed.

I appreciate any suggestions you might have.

Thanks,
