TV is connected via coaxial cable to Dish setup. Picture snowy.
I was told to connect a DVD player to the TV to determine whether the poor picture quality is the line, or the TV. I am not sure where to connect it. Audio cables on one end, and a coaxial on the other, to go into the TV? Or, what are the two larger holes in the center of the back, surrounded by an oval separator? Is that another kind of connector, and for what? When the Dish technician (on the phone) tried to help me, we could not get the channels to go up high enough, above channel 69. I bought this at a garage sale, and maybe I made a mistake.
Use your TVs remote and select AV usisng the TV/AV button.
Most DVD players use the AV Cables to connect to TVs.Yellow Video Out to Video IN of TV, REd and White Audio Left and Right to Audio L and Audio R IN of TV.
In that case you may require an adapter box that allows multiple items to be plugged in to one socket. Ebay stock this sort of item as do electronics Hi Fi outlets, Radio Shack, Maplins etc. Hope this helps.

It sounds that the tuner to your TV is faulty. It should be replaced. Before confirming, check the antenna connection for firmness, and the antenna wire have no breaks inside it. If you wish to get more details, check this site linked

Hi, Unfortunately I am a bit unclear on the snowy sound issue but what your describing otherwise sounds like you are trying to watch tv via the dvd recorders built in t.v. tuner, this is possible usually just with a coaxial connection. ( a cable tv cord ) The out to t.v. terminal on back of recorder must be connected to the in from ant./cable on the back of the tv set. all other connections are for higher definition playback. Thanks for trying FixYa, I hope this helps, and good kuck-Prodzilla
The jacks from the player go to the same colored jacks on tv. Then after jacks are connected, tv must be on channel AV or Input. that is the channel used by the jacks. JUST MATCH UP THE COLORS.
The way you have it hooked up right now will not work unless you have a coaxial out on your cable box going to the dvd recorder. Even then, picture quality will be severely degraded. The best way to do it is to leave your cable box hooked up to your TV via HDMI and connect your dvd recorder to your cable box via component video if your dvd recorder has a component video input. If it doesn't, then just use the composite video input. That way your picture quality will be better and you will still be able to record with the TV off.
try changing the channel you outputing to. go to your tv1 location hit the menu button and choose number 6 system setup then number 1 instalation then number 5 modulator setup then change tv2's channel to like 65 then select done go to your tv2 put on 65 and see if this helps issue
Usually a snowy picture means that you have a bad ground connection. You should see that some channels are beter than others. Verify that the cable connection is good. Try a different cable if you can. If that has no effect, than we need to start looking at the tuner itself. If you can change channels but just have a poor picture, chances are that a resolder of the tuner section will resolve the problem.
HDTV is not carried via coaxial cable from tuner, you need HDMI or the 5 RCA cables that are different colors. I forget if they are called component or composite, I think they are called composite, the R and W are sound. If you run the HDMI or composite cables to your TV, there should be a variable out or audio out on the back of the TV that outputs ANY sound coming into the TV, like Wii, DVD, tv, etc. So if you want to listen to tv sound, just pipe the audio out to the receivers available input and turn it up. Cant be used with mag input (turntable) all others are compatible. Did this answer your question? Sat cables are usually kept under 130 ft from the dish, and the dish receiver can output coaxial signal over 400ft on RG-6 cable. HDMI is limited and can get very expensive. Does your sat box have a coaxial digital out (orange RCA) you can use that if your receiver can read it, usually associated with the DVD input or video input, but only for digital encoded programs.
You didn't mention anything about a cable box, VCR, etc. which might be connected. A snowy pic. means simply, inadequate signal is reaching the tuner, or the TV tuner itself is bad. If the first is so... check your cabling. If you have a VCR or DVD player hooked in between the cable box or outside antenna (whichever is the case), VCR (RF or ant.) out should go to the TV, VCR antenna (RF or ant.) input to the cable box.
Also check the cable wire itself. If you look at the end of the cable, you should see a relatively thin center wire. This center conductor is what carries the signal. If it is missing, bent over, or too short to make contact with whatever it is connected to, you will have a very snowy pic.
If you have a spare TV, connect it in place of your "new" TV, to narrow down the problem.
Lastly, if all is well with hookup, cabling, etc. the TV might have a problem. Sometimes the tuner has a component defect, or the coaxial connector can be broken.
Press the DVD button on the Philips remote. Make sure the yellow part of the RCA cable is plugged into Output/CVBS/Out on the back of the Philips, and that it is plugged into a yellow input of your TV. Change your TV channel to Av1, av2, video 1, video 2, aux, aux 2, or whatever the correct video channel is on your TV. Then press setup - you will get your picture.
In order for the coax connection to work on Ch. 3 of your TV, you will have to get an additional piece of equipment - an RF modulator. It's better just to stick with the RCA red, yellow, white cables.
ARE THERE RED YELLOW AND WHITE PLUGS ON THE TV THAT SAY INPUT?
