We used to use the radio shack versions of these with pioneer cable boxes

If you are here reading comments, you might be having reception problems. Here are a few more tips that could help. Use an AM radio tuned to static to sniff out electronic noise around the house. Cheap LED lights, dimmer switches, and transformers can create electronic noise that can interfere. Another easy way to see if this is the problem is to turn off breakers in the breaker box.

I use the AMIKO TSC1270 digital meter for satellite, antenna , digital and analog cable instalation (two inputs one for satellite and the second for cable/antenna). My digital meter also has a spectrum analyzer. On the spectrum analyzer I see that I have signal on both FM and UHF band I can also zoom in and I can see how many Db I have on each frequency. Interesting part is that if I go to analog cable installation, I can manually add a frequency between 40 - 1100 MHz, by default it has the 105.25 MHz frequency set as channel 4, I also added the 82.25 MHz frequency as channel 3. If I connect any FM antenna the signal strenght in most cases is 100%, but if there are some problems with the antenna or coax cable the signal drops, if the antenna is indoor the signal is 70-80%, if there is no FM present or an FM Trap is installed the signal strength is 5-10%. I use this feature when I install an FM antenna to check if it the setup is correct or everything is allright. For better testing i recommend an FM radio with coax input The TSC1270 is not designed for FM installation only for TV but this is a hack. If you use it in North America you can use it as a satellite finder for both C and Ku Band but you must delete the European satellites and add North American satellites, adding a satellite or transponder is the same like a satellite receiver, unfortunatelly you can't use it for digital cable and antenna beacuse the tuners is DVB-T/T2 and DVB-C/C2 but you can use it for analog cable just change from PAL G to NTSC.

Cheap led lights are notoriously dirty too with stray rf as well as some fluorescent lights.

Holy smokes what a difference!

drag the marker along he signal line ,or use the jog button on top, easy.

Im reluctant to spend $25 for an FM trap without proof of improved TV reception. Also, I have just learned that they make sat receivers that allow you to get all of the same OTA stations for free with a dish. Nice......no interrupts from either 5G or FM. They are cheap too.

I wonder if those are shortwave signals on the far left side of the graph.

Can you please do a review on the Tablo 4th Generation Over-the-air DVR?

Can it actually view the station tho?
