Take your TV and connect it to a working plug to make sure the TV is not broke - or as pointed out use TV that works and plug it into your outlet - same difference I think? (but does not eliminate double jeopardy - your TV might still be knackered as well as the signal be broke :) )Īlso requires for all plugs to be disconnected from all TVs. Test Point C,D.Z respectively to make sure there is a good connection. If you know the coax for all the TVs is the same cable you, you can leave Point B terminated - which is most likely closest to the antenna or after the junction. There is no need to analyse the signal or test for a signal because you know you have a signal in the other TVs (assuming the coax is connected to the same place) No reading - Cable form Point A to Point B has no connection.~0Ohm or very close to - Woohoo you have a nice connection from a to b!ĠOhm More than dead short - You have a bad connection somewhere.Test point A with a multimeter set at Ohm.Short point B (so connect the signal and shield with a wire).Point A being nearest to your TV and Point B being the other end of the cable. You just need to use a few simple free (brainpower) tricks. You use that type of equipment for digital/analogue testing where you control several if not hundred outcomes, synchronization and high speed data transfer. Never in my life did i have to use a tone generator, a oscilloscope to test if my CCTV, Satellite or TV connection is giving me good enough signal. You do not need to know if there is a 'signal' you just need to know if there is a connection.Ī basic tool that can tell you evetrything and costs a few bucks/quid at local hardware store.
