Any ideas TV problem

[Jeff one]

We have 2 tv,s in the MH, one in the front and other in the bedroom, I tune in the front, then when I switch on the bedroom TV,, even with Ariel unplugged it affects the signal on the other TV
It’s a basic MH Ariel set up with manufacturers booster in the cupboard
Many Thanks
Jeff

How is the signal split and distributed to the 2 TVs? A photo of the booster and where each signal cable is connected/ split would be more useful.

It looks if it’s a box fitted by the manufacturer, it’s a 2015 swift Bollero, I will try to get a photo,, its back in storage, thank you

Just to explain...... If the aerial signal is not split properly by a distribution amplifier feeding each TV, then you can get problems with signals cancelling out (standing waves). In practice with digital signals you may receive one group of TV services (channels) but not others. Unplugging the aerial connection to one TV would also create larger problems.

Right spot on,, I will try to check and take photo tomorrow,, I have been messing about for hours today, thanks again

Both my Avetex and Cello TV's have the option to provide low voltage down the aerial lead to power a aerial amplifier, it can be switched off in the settings, maybe yours is on on one of the TV's and causing the issue.

On the TV or the amplifier,, sorry I am not the brightest

In the TV settings. It's likely to say something like 'antenna power', 'phantom power', or 'active antenna' or similar. check for it on both and turn it off to see if any difference.

Hopefully will be able to try the options tomorrow, brilliant thanks again
