hooked up to it, actually I have it tacked to the back of the
entertainment center in its normal "T" shape.
When I have my TV on, the FM reception is really lousy -- I can only
get one FM station which probably only a few miles away. When I turn
the TV off, I can get many FM stations from as far as 70 miles away.
Is there anything I could do to get good FM reception with the TV on,
maybe hook some kind of filter between the antenna and the receiver? I >thought about a cheap FM signal booster but from what I've read I'd
probably just be boosting the noise along with the FM signal.
Maybe some kind of outside antenna would solve the problem but that
isn't really practical for me. Also the router still might interfere
with its wiring when it comes near it.
The TV is causing the interference. I'd run 75 ohm coax away from the
TV and then hook up your antenna using a 300 ohm to 75 ohm
transformer.
