Live in rural Winterset Iowa. TV reception requires converter box and power antenna booster. had power outages while at work and came home to converter box issue. When turned on light goes from green to red. will not stay on green to see tv. Tried 2 other new converter boxes - same issue. TV turns on and I can get menu - but converter box needed otherwise just "snow" on screen. Tried plugging into different outlet with extension cord - no help. Bought new different power antenna - no help. tried different cord between converter box & tv - no help. I am 63 - need help of this forum. Do not want to have to buy a new tv - any suggestions/recommendations welcome PLEASE HELP.
I have one of those right here attached to my computer so I can watch TV on the PC. The red-green light is the power indicator. Your converter is turning off for some reason. Possibly it is getting a signal from another remote, and turning off. You can block the converter's remote sensor with something (black tape works) and then change the channels with front panel buttons if it has them.
Mine has power buttons for both the TV and the converter, so watch out for that.
