minus-squareprettybunnys@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 days agoFor the tv we had my recollection was that it only happened when there was no input plugged into the UHF. Or if the Nintendo inline was plugged in and the Nintendo was off, and no other input. We had cable since that late 80s so I don’t recall ever dealing with signal loss beyond VH1 becoming scrambled at 9:30 for the playboy channel.
