stuttering tuner box.

[danristheman]

I have a an RCA tuner box with a stuttering problem on wane tv all the other stations from Fort Wayne market just fine. Wane tv is the strongest channel in fort wayne any ideas?

Signal overload?

I have 4 bow tie uhf element antenna in my room with 3 feet of rg6 cable to the tuner box I am about 40 miles away from Fort Wayne.

Ssss Sa Stut ta ering brings to mind overload also. At least that's what I'd test for first.
ATTENUATOR* WOW, I've seen 'em cheaper before. RATSHak doesn't list 'em anymore (Surprise) On 'BAY
Does this affect video and audio 'in sync' with each other? Specific frequency? Just wondering 'out loud' as it could also be a failing capacitor. (But think that would affect all channels)

*Maybe try with one of the transformer leads removed from the antenna ????

Is it constant stuttering or only occasional? If occasional, how long does it last? Certain time of day?

 

[danristheman]

All the time on channel 15 wane Tv on rf channel 31. Can I post a video clip of it on here how can I do that?

I believe you could post a video clip if you put it in a zip file but don't know the maximum size allowed though.

Also its not the weather clear night cold but clear.

on all options to view it (TV, other boxes)?

My Magnovox ota box does something similar but not as bad. Tv in the living room doesn't have a signal problem.

Are you using a preamp with your antenna? How do your devices receive their signal (unamplified splitter, amplified distribution amp)? What are the cable lengths to each device?

My bedroom 3 feet rg6 from antenna to tuner box. Mom's bedroom antenna craft u 4000 uhf antenna 10 feet cable rg6. Living room from the office feed antenna all of fort wayne and Lansing. Mom's room is the only one with an rca amp $15.

You could try reorienting the antenna to see if that helps, but still my first guess would be overload. If you need something a bit less costly here is a variable attenuator on ebay you can get for $14.99 shipped. They only have four left while I'm posting this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Adjustable-TV-UHF-VHF-75-Ohm-Bidirectional-Attenuator-/400863969207 Good luck!

Why do you have an amp on your mothers TV? A simple attenuator is put a 4 way splitter in the line it will reduce the signal by 7dB.(that is 1/4 th the signal)
