    Snowy Picture when connected to Cable with Coax cable

    Please Help! Whenever I hook up to the Cable connector in the Nautilis system of my Reflection 303RLS I always get a real snowy picture. This has happened at every park I have been to. I have tried and failed multiple cables and connectors. I don't have any other ideas. Has anyone had the same problem, if so, how to solve? Any comments would be appreciated.

    Just FYI, I was behind or main TV last night and discovered the factory cable connector at the TV was loose. I'm talking about the actual cable going into the connector. The cable would pull out about 1/8" of an inch. I could not find a way to tighten it up other than pushing the cable into the connector while screwing it onto the fitting of the TV. It appears its some type of push fit that just isn't working correctly. If your inspected the connections, then try running a cable straight to TV. Maybe the factory cable inside the unit has a cut causing the poor view???

    Two things we forgot in the early years as a number of folks have shared as well. Did you re-set the TV to "CABLE" vs over the "AIR" mode ? Secondly is your power booster button/switch off when you use the over air and antenna ?

    Yes I did switch the TV to Cable and re-scanned several times. However, I did not know about the power booster switch. I will try that next. Thank you for the Info.

    If the booster switch doesn't fox the problem, start checking all the connectors. There are a lot of them. Follow the cable as much as possible to check the easy ones first.
