Outerorbiter,
Welcome to the forum. Interesting you pose this question. I recently had a private discussion with GroundUrMast about a problem I was having similar to this.
My situation was that with a 6' jumper between my antenna and preamp, my Antennas Direct 91xg with an RCA preamp, I LOST my weakest signal on the second TV with the main TV having a larger case of breakups. Prior I had had a 12' jumper that worked pretty good the signal being reliable on both TVs. I only changed to the shorter jumper to get the preamp closer to the antenna. Returning my set up to the 12' jumper, both TVs have solid and 99% reliable reception. I know I didn't have bad coax jumpers. The only thing left is that the run's length had a harmonic in the RF 22 vicinity.
Are you using a preamp? If so, what length of jumper are you using?
TVs have varying qualities of tuners. If you can, swap short leads that split to test if you have bad coax on the second TV. You'll be able to isolate it down pretty quick if it's a coax issue. If with coaxes reversed you still have the problem, you've deduced it down to tuner or perhaps a harmonic.
Which signal this is occurring with? With a little more detail we can begin to isolate this out even more.
Regards,
SS
