I've finished a custom modded TV project you can see here: http://m.imgur.com/a/nIBqT
I basically replaced all the internals of an old CRT TV
I want to use the existing antenna with a digital tuner to be able to view TV stations.
As you can see from the album, I got it working while building it with everything open. I just got a coax cable, cut it in half, stripped it a bit and soldered the middle bit to one of the terminals after the ferrite core windings (or whatever it is) at the antenna, and the insulating/ground part to the other terminal. Then plugged the end of the cable into the tuner
However when I finished the system and closed it up with everything inside, it wouldn't pick up signal anymore. I figure it's either wired inappropriately so it's very sensitive to disturbance (something needs to be grounded or isolated or something idk) or other components are generating EMI and causing issues
Is anyone able to help isolate the problem and how to fix it??
Cheers
Mods Edit:
Please post the photos and images with *.jpg file, the format .png just good for the graphics only have the vertical line and horizontal line, when you post the wrong file format then the file size will be bigger than 10 times as this file with png and converted to jpg from about 1.4Mb to 1.39Kb.
