getting VHF channels not getting UHF channels
 
I am not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but I am in
the process of switching from cable tv to an antenna. I had an old
antenna that i recently took down and just put up a new 80 inch boom
external uhf/vhf/fm antenna. I get VHF channels perfectly, but when i
get above channel 11 all i get is fuzz. I currently have the external
antenna connected to a 4 way splitter and from that splitter my signal
reaches my various tvs. I am assuming this is a simple problem with
needing an adapter of some sorts. Any advice would be appreciated.

Did you go into the menue and change the setting from CATV to Antenna? UHF
channels do not line up with any cable channels.

Have you told the TV that it is no longer on a cable? The cable channels
are different from the regular broadcast ones and a switch must be made
in the menu.

Make sure your TV has "antenna" selected instead
of "cable". I have the opposite problem. When I
have a power failure, my TV reverts to "antenna"
and I have to reset it back to "cable".
