    Missing Channel

    Recently was able to try the HLSJ solution described here, but unfortunately, no different from before, still unable to pick up the missing channel. Is there anything else I can try?

The signal is split once, no amplifier is being used. The signal strength for 50.1 is excellent but shows "No Signal" for the...

    What is this cable?

    Thank you to everyone who responded to my question. I learned a lot and was impressed with the quality (and quantity) of responses. Will definitely hook up to an antenna and get some more channels!

    What is this cable?

    Thanks for the comments. I connected the box to my tv and the mystery cable, the result was 15 very good quality OTA channels on my tv, including some HD. Very pleased, especially as the other end isn't connected to an antenna, just lying on the roof.

    What is this cable?

    Looking for help with a mystery cable. Please see pics. I have an old cable running from the roof into the apartment. On the roof was a 'VHF Matching Box (75 [Unknown symbol] > 300 [same symbol])' that used to connect to one end of the cable. The box has a coaxial connector on the other end of...
