Moving Walkway

In order to distribute my TiVO signal throughout the house I have a ChannelVision modulator. To get this modulated signal to co-exist with my cable TV service, I have a ChannelVision powered amplifier (CVT-2/8PIA II).

Everything worked great for many years. About 6 months ago, the signal on the TVs (not just the “TiVO channel” but all channels) got weak. It took me a while, but after switching cables and fiddling with just about everything, I noticed that the dimmer the power light was, the weaker the signal. I put a volt meter on the power supply and it looked ok.

I eventually called ChannelVision and explained the situation. It clearly wasn’t under the two year warrantee, but I was really looking for suggestions. The best I came up with was that to replace the power supply would be a cheaper attempt than the whole unit. At this point the nice guy at ChannelVision took all of my information and sent me a replacement power supply.

It came yesterday and BINGO… perfect picture! So it was the power supply. And thanks to the nice folks at ChannelVision it cost me nothing
