+grips03 Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I have Intv 2. RF works ok, but if I leave system on for long time I get bad video. Video still shows up but with snow / wavy line type interference. Is there a known fix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+grips03 Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 Hour or two, something like that. I'll take pics the next time. It is a Sony LCD screen. Playing using RF until GB releases RGB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing using RF until GB releases RGB can you feel the rf connection at the tv when it starts acting up and see if it gets hot or not? also you arent playing with the console on carpet are you? also are you using an rf switchbox or one of the little rca to coax rf adapters?

Certifiable Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 What's it plugged into? The wall directly or a grounded/ungrounded extension? Sometimes those cheater 2 prong grounded adapters work to reduce interference, sometimes not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pimpmaul69 Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I am trying to rule out everything outside the system first. Try changing rf cable too ( i am sure u know this but it is not a regular rca. Those will always give u crappy reception). The reason i am trying to try everything outside first is it takes a long time before it does this. It still could be an internal problem, just trying to rule out the simple stuff first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+grips03 Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 Ok i'll wait for issue to occur again and replace RF cable. Its not a RCA cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
