Effect of Fans on Digital Tv

[dolluper]

I use an antenna to receive digiital hd tv signals......the rest I watch over the net. One thing I have noticed is the over the air signals are greaty distored by multi fan diesel engines in buses or large over 5 ton trucks.......only on channels with less bandwidth.......in the olden days we added a choke to settle the annologe signal........I have to tell you I kave a tv in the shop that uses the dig to anno convertor and it has no problems what so ever.........so the only problem is the digital tv ....ASTC receivers that the pixcels jump and sometimes lose the signal...only evtreme..........any body have a solution THANKS

Move your antenna and use shielded cable.

Its a propagation issue if I remember right.

Any running vehicles, especially big trucks produce a lot of EMF.

Move the antenna, ground the coax ground shielding, both ends (ground at the wall socket and the coax to the antenna and the down pole for the antenna.
