Lost tv signal in 27rlws

Trailer is set up in back yard and have been getting a couple local stations with the antenna.Then yesterday while messing with the Genesis stereo unit I lost the signal to the tv(says weak signal). Antenna booster is on. Any ideas?

Hello, I have had issues with the LED lights. the Square ones to be exact that have caused TV reception interference. It might also be possible a cable has fallen off, the screw on F59 connectors sometimes don't crimp or push on very well.

Tv is working now. Didn't get an owners manual for the tv so i've been winging it. Used the remote to do the setup for the tv, scanned for channels and wala. Not sure why I had a couple channels and then lost them.

you might want to ck the cable on the roof that goes to the antenna sometimes they loosen up or corrode. I put some dielectric grease in the cable connectors to stop corrosion. Every 3 to 5 yrs I replace that cable the outer shielding gets dry rot and cracks.
All of these will give you a bad signal and can cause you to loose signal.

Bought a Tailgater satellite dish and works awesome. Roof antenna doesn't really pull anything but crazy channels.
