Sometimes for receiving digital television except UHF antenna, the receiver is required, the so-called set-top box that connects to a television. The DMV or a broadband receiver, it must be in good condition and work well on the ground (it all depends on the terrain and the proximity to the repeater) is suitable as an external antenna. Thus, the user is connected to the television receiver, and, after their joint inclusion in the TV menu appears «Antenna short» inscription, which literally means "short-circuit antenna».
Why is there such a notice?
SUMMARY: In the first place, we must understand that the antenna receivers are active and passive.
Active TV antenna additional power is required. Passive TV antenna amplification unit is not needed, and some of them are short-circuited and when to apply for them this food, it is their fault, that the menu on the TV screen becomes unavailable for management.
Therefore, the problem appears on the TV in the following cases:
- It uses passive receiver, and consoles menu settings were automatically powered on to the missing power. The solution to this problem is, consider how to proceed:
- De-energize the receiver.
- Disconnect the plug from the receiver.
- Back to turn on the receiver, find the menu "Settings" section and the subsection "Power ANTENNA", turn off unnecessary power to the antenna receiver.
- Connect the antenna.
- Using an active receiver in the menu on the power supply is turned on, but it could cause a short-circuit if faulty amplifier itself, it happens, for example, after a thunderstorm. Also, when this could close the cable itself in the joints by careless installation. Out of this situation:
- De-energize the console.
- Identify and eliminate the cause of the short.
- Back to connect the console.
ATTENTION. If nothing has changed in the foregoing manipulations, then you just need to change a faulty receiver or TV antenna.
