Trouble Shooting Tips For Improving TV Reception If you experience any disturbance in your TV reception, the problem may be due to a minor oversight. Here's an important checklist that may help you locate the source of the problem quickly: Always ensure that all devices (TV, digital set-top box, VCR and DVD-R) are plugged into your power outlet and the power is turned on.
Signal Leakage A Reminder It is very important that you do not tamper with the cable wiring in your home once StarHub's signals are connected to your TV points. This is because you could cause signal leakage. Signal leakage is the unwanted radiation of cable signals into the atmosphere from a component in the cable network which is faulty or improperly installed.
