videosender interference

we8 · 21-09-2003, 15:59

just got a videosender and I'm getting terrible interference. I get a perfect picture but with systematic interference - 3 clicks and breakups in the picture every time - every second or so. has anyone got any ideas about what might be interfering with it? all I know is that it's not my mobile and it's not the microwave

Do you have a cordless Dect phone? they can cause troubles...

Some videosenders can change the channel that they use... maybe you could try that?

yeah, I've tried all channels. I'll check the phone suggestion though - I do have a DECT phone. thanks.

nope, I've tried turning it off and it's not that :-\

Do you have a Bluetooth phone, or Wireless Computer network?

If so they also operate on the same frequency band (as does your microwave oven) Try turning these off

we8 · 21-09-2003, 21:12

nope, neither of them :-\

I should have finished reading your question!

Have you tried them next to one another, and repositiong the antennas?

I've tried moving them, yeah. funny thing is that I get absolutely no interference when I try to run it through my TV card which is about 6 feet away

My video sender hates the microwave and I had to change frequencies with the switch at the back to sort it out.

It also helps if the transmitter unit can be as high as possible - eg on top of the TV - and not amongst the video cabinet somewhere.

Some occasional flashing on the receiving unit was traced to the SCART lead not sittingly firmly enough at the remote TV - now sorted.

A bit of trial and error I'm afraid...
