Reception disturbances

NOTE:

from the TV set to a considerable distance.
EN26
IGNITION NOISE:
Black spots or horizontal streaks may appear, picture may flutter or drift. Usually
caused by interference from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps, electrical
drills, and other electrical appliances.
GHOSTS:
Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths. One is the direct
path and the other is reflected from tall buildings, hills or some other objects.
Changing the direction or position of the antenna may improve reception.
Ghosting may also be caused by defects in the antenna system such as
unshielded leads or connecting several sets to the same antenna without using
multiple antenna couplers.
SNOW:
If your receiver is located in the fringe area of a television station where the signal
is weak, your picture may be marred by the appearance of small dots. When
the signal is extremely weak, it may be necessary to install a special antenna to
improve the picture.
RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE:
The interference produces moving ripples or diagonal streaks, and in some
cases, causes loss of contrast in the picture.
