If you are combining with other modulators, be sure the RF# selected on the unit does not conflict with any other channels,
keep in mind that some analog modulators may spill over to adjacent channels and cause unexpected interference.
If you are combining with a cable service, keep in mind that they sometimes have extra signals that a TV will not display and
can cause interference.
There may also be an RF power balance issue. Verify that the RF power of the unit is balanced with signals from other
modulators and from the cable company. As a test, try removing all other signals (cable, other modulators, etc) and see if you
still see similar issues.
Some TVs will also show video issues if the signal strength is too high. Try lowering the RF power on the unit to ensure you
are not overdriving the HDTV tuner.

If you are feeding the audio directly from the source into a distributed (whole house) audio system and not through the
ZeeVee unit, it will arrive to the speakers before the video arrives to the HDTV. This happens because the video is being
encoded into a digital signal, modulated by the unit and then demodulated at the HDTV. Each of these steps adds latency that
will not be reflected in the audio because it is traveling a shorter path.
To work around the issue, you can try one of the following:
Use an audio delay device that allows you to add a delay to the audio stream before it reaches the sound system.

has gone through the encoding and decoding process just as the video did.
