I need help troubleshooting. When I try to play a movie on my new dvd player, it jumps back and forth from the movie.... to what is on channel 3, or 4 if I set it at that channel. I changed colored wires.Nope.

I changed cable wires. Nope. I changed dvd players.Nope.

I changed TVs.Nope. I don't get it. I have old TVs so I use a brand new RF Modulator.

I see no options on the dvd player or TV to switch back and forth from the cable, TV or dvd player. My cable comes through the wall straight to the modulator, I don't have a cable box. Any ideas would help!Thanks.

That would be your problem. You can't have two RF devices plugged into the same RF input.

I don't have a cable box. It just comes from the wall into my modulator, then another cable goes from my modulator to my TV. The only other wires are the colored ones that go from my modulator to the TV.

This is why I'm stumped! Can you think of anything else I could check? Thank you!

Back in the day I never had a problem hooking up a VCR. Getting rid of the digital cable box we had was when this started. TessieJo 13 months ago .

You're looping two converter boxes together. I don't think you can do that. You've getting exactly what I would expect.

You need to go to Radio Shack and get an RD switcher so you can switch back and forth between them.

My equipment together consists of one dvd player, one tv, one RF Modulator one set of colored wires, one cable wire from the wall to the modulator and one cable wire from the modulator to the tv. I will look into a RD Switcher to see what you are talking about. TessieJo 13 months ago .

Sorry. You had said that you have a cable going from the modulator to the TV and "the only other wires are the colored ones that go from my modulator to the TV. " It sounded like you had two connections.

I must have thought you had two modulators,So how did you attach the DVD player to the TV? .

The only RD Switchers I found online had something to do with model trains. Hm. The DVD player has the colored wires going from there to the RF modulator, that's all.Am I missing something?

There isn't another way to my knowledge. That is why I needed the modulator. Sorry I'm so clueless!

Well, we're back to the same problem You have the DVD player and the cable cable going into the same box. It's not designed to do that. You need separate modulators, one for the cable and one for the DVD player.

And then you can use an RF switcher (not an RD switcher). They use to come with video games so you could hook the video game to the TV as well as a TV antenna. You might be able to make what you have work by pulling the cable plug out when you want to watch the DVD player, and pull the DVD player cables out when you want to watch cable.So try that, and if you want to buy another box and a switcher to make switching easier, then you can do that once you've fixed the problem.

Ok, LOL, thanks! I'll see what I can do. Thanks for all your help!

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
