Re: Noisy picture thru cable convertor box

It sounds like you could have one of four problems:
1) Bad cable box
2) Bad video out on your vcr
3) Bad video in on your tv
4) Bad coax or video cables
I work for a cable company, I would like to offer you some advice. I would, as stated in the post above, try the setup minus the vcr(if your cable box has video out's). If that has no improvement, hook the vcr back up and try taking out the converter and see what the quality looks like. If your cable box has no video out, try hooking it up to your tv via the coax(rf). If you are using crappy Radio Shack cable, get rid of it. Use sheilded RG-56 cable with the screw on fittings, NO PUSH-ON CONNECTORS, they are garbage as well. It's basically a process of elimination.
My guess is that your cable box is bad.
Good Luck!
