Why does not television work?

Unfortunately or fortunately, but a favorite entertainmentmost of us are television, and therefore, when instead of color pictures we suddenly see black and white "flies", we are incredibly upset and are eager to fix everything as soon as possible.

Let's see why television does not work and how to fix the situation.

Does not work cable TV

First inclusion

If the cable TV does not work at the firstyou can almost say with absolute probability that the cause of the failure is incorrect installation of the antenna. The fact is that the satellite dish providing cable TV is a rather capricious device: if it is misdirected to a satellite, channels will not work.

Antenna tuning is not an easy task, and therefore betterall if it is done by specialists directed to you from the provider for connecting cable TV. In the event that the work has to be done on your own, consider, you definitely need an assistant - one should rotate the antenna, the other - to monitor the signal level.

Previously worked

If it's not about the first power-up, the cause of the problem will be harder to find. Among the most popular are:

Incorrect installation of the receiver's card - ifyour family has children, no one guarantees that while you were away in the kitchen, your "flowers of life" did not tidy the map to your hands, in order to use it as a new toy.
Problems with the antenna - if there was a thunderstorm or a strong wind recently, it is possible that the antenna has shifted or worse - it was damaged.
The wires disconnected - check that all the wires are located in their sockets, you could easily touch the wires, and one of them disconnected.
Malfunctions of the receiver - see if the light on your receiver is on, if not, then most likely the problem is in the faulty receiver.
Lost channels - try to adjust channels again, sometimes they go astray for unexplained reasons.
Paid channel - perhaps you are on the channel, forwhich requires additional payment. In this case, as a rule, you will see a black screen and an inscription of the type "Coded channel", to eliminate the "breakdown" simply switch to one of the channels provided by your subscription fee.

By the way, it is worthwhile to say that all these reasons can be actual and at the first inclusion.

Digital TV does not work

In fact, in the case of digital TV the reasonsbreakages can be identical to the causes of cable TV breakdowns: malfunction of the console itself, undocking of wires, lost channels, late payment, etc.

In addition, it is worth saying that often the signalof digital television is lost due to problems with the repeater - digital television in Russia is still developing, and therefore frequent failures for this type of broadcasting are not surprising. Especially relevant is the problem in bad weather - strong wind, snow, rain.

If only part of the channels do not work, it is more likelyin fact, you forgot to pay for digital TV services, for example, the operator Rostelecom in case of non-payment leaves the user working 8 channels, and the rest blocks. There are operators who, with non-payment, leave only one channel for workers.

Nothing helps

If you have checked all possible causes of breakdowns andeverything is OK - wires on the ground, the antennas are set up correctly, the cards are installed correctly, the receiver is working, etc., and television still does not want to "educate", you probably need to contact the provider that provides you with TV services, and instruct him the analysis of the problem.

As a rule, to solve the problem,verbal instructions on the phone, but if they do not help, you will be sent to help the master. However, it is possible that the call will have to pay. Be sure to clarify this question.
