I have a GE analog tc (32in I think), and I have a ditigal antenna, magnovox converter box, dvd player, and RF Modulator connected to it. It is picking up mexican radio interference. I have tried reconnecting all the devices a few times, and when I move them to certain spots, it gets slightly better or worse. When I had a little 13 in TV a few months ago, I did not receive such interference. I am stuck on how to fix it... PLEASE HELP, it is soooo annoying to hear this, even when I mute the TV.

I have an old analog GE TV (37 in I think) that has a magnavox converter, ditigal antenna, rf modulator, and a simple magnavox dvd player hooked up to it. Well, through the TV speakers, even when the TV is muted, I hear bad static and a mexican radio station, as if I had a radio in the TV and it is not tuned to the right station. When I move the wires, or the rf mod around, it changes the intensity of the static, sometimes it gets better in different positions, but for the most part, it gets worse, and I can't hear the TV show that well, because of the staticky radio noise. I have disconeccted and reconeccted all the cable wires multiple times, and it still doesn't help...

~Update: I completely removed the rf modulator, to try and cut down on all the wires, ("I will just have to hook up the dvd player every single time I wanna use it" is what I am thinking... except the problem got worse. I moved the antenna off the conv. Box, still no relief!! Someone PLEASE PLEASE help!

Are you using a preamp, twin lead, coax,and if coax, are you using screw on connectors?
I have seen people use screw on coax connectors onto the outer insulation, not the outer conductor, which WILL cause interference.

I am using coax and I checked all of them and made sure they were connected properly. I wish it was that easy...

~Also made sure none of the coax cables weren't accidentally plugged into the outter insulation... I AM GOING CRAZY!!

I will try to keep guessing, so you have coax and no preamp? This will go faster if you answer.
Are they crimp or screw on connectors?
It can be that easy(a screw on connector on insulator), not the braided"shield".

I don't know what a preamp is, and 1 is screw on, and one is snap in... you just push it in

An Antenna Preamp is an amplifier mounted up at the antenna, it also has a second part, a power supply, the Power supply sends voltage up the coax to the preamp, then the amplified signal is sent back down the same coax.
Weather they are push on? Or screw on, the outer shield needs to be in direct contact with the outer part of your connector.

Another thought, Wolfman Jack, a Radio Personality, I believe used to Transmit 1 Million Watts of Power from Mexico, about the '60's.
Maybe the Wolfmans back.
