Is there devices to correct hi def breakup

patj4u

I have a big screen 40 inch tv in high def. Picture is clear except pictures break up real bad...i live 45 miles south west of atlanta ga. Also im using a converter box on older tv and i get alot of break ups on it..what can i do...i have out door hd antenna for the 40 inch tv and im using a flat antenna on the older tv...i need help. Can i get a filter to stop the breakup?

The breakup is either a weak signal, multipath, or overload.. More then likely it is a weak signal or mulitpath.. In analog, it would be a poor image, in digital (think 1s and 0s) it is loss of video....
Can you go to Tvfool.com and post your pre and post transition reports? Also what outdoor antenna do you have? Where is it aimed? Is there an amplifier?

I will try that place you told me to post...i was wondering if i could get a filter to stop the freeze picture break up..thanks for your information..

Like I tried to project up above, there is no magic box that will fix the issues, they are "normal" dropouts with digital tv.. That is why we need your tvfool data, it will help us predict what you need to do, to get reliable, breakup free, tv..... Digital tv is all or nothing, the picture does NOT degrade like analog, it just tears or drops out, making antennas and amps being spec'ed for the location even more important....
Am I more clear this time?

Buy a bigger antenna. Buy an amplifier.

See if this helps: Why doesn't my DTV converter box pick up the same stations in digital that I get in analog?
