When I plug my Google Chromecast into my Samsung TV, all my 18 channels I get from an indoor antenna become pixelated. When I unplug the Chromecast all channels are perfect. Why?

SOURCE: TV tuner attached to cable box has a pixelated resolution

go to there web page and get the drivers and you can get the ghz). also

SOURCE: I have a Westinghouse 26 inch TV.

I carried my Westinghouse TV to the basement. Unplugged the antenna from the digital converter box and connected it to my digital TV. I then re-scanned for channels and found channel 9. After carrying the Westinghouse TV back upstairs, I connected the original set-up and tuned to channel 9 which was now showing on the screen as no signal. From that point I moved my VHF dipoles until I had located the correct position for reception. A little labor intensive, but I was fortunate to have another antenna that was receiving channel 9.

SOURCE: insignia digital tv converter/indoor antenna no signal

I had the same problem but realized that when it said NO SIGNAL,,,,it just ment for that station,,,,,switch channels and they will start to come in,,,

Good Luck,

Have 9, 5 and 13 turned entirely digital as yet, so as to leave you without their signal?

From what you say, the tv tuner in your HP receives analog signals better than or instead of digital signals the stations you can receive may be analog while 9, 5, and 13 may have dispensed with their analog transmitters.

They don't have to until June, since the changeover was delayed from the original February cutoff date by Act of Congress. It is actually easier to receive a digital signal than an equally powered analog equivalent so the fact that your system worked so well with analog signals bodes well for the efficiency of your indoor antenna arrangement, though you may have to replace the possibly analog receiver in your pc with a usb digital thumbdrive like model to continue after the changeover is final.

Here's a tip...if the receiver in your pc resembles a square aluminum tin can, mounted on a PCI card in one of your slots, it is very likely analog and not digital.

Usually these receivers (or actually TUNERS) are heavily sheilded while digital receivers do not require the same amount of sheilding to avoid interference with other components, which is the concept of the big square tin can, that a digital tuner does not require.

SOURCE: what type of indoor antenna work best with this unit?cobytv/tf-tv

A simple pair of rabbit ears (standard dipole antenna) should do the trick. You will have to set the source input to NTSC/ATSC and connect the antenna to either the analog or digital F- connector inputs if you use a RF splitter you can use one anatenna for both inputs. In any event try this first.

Thank you,
