PDI for cable and satellite system

What is the best way to test all TV connections during the PDI walk thru? I want to make sure all areas for tv hook ups work properly. Thanks

Hi Jamie,

If there are TVs at each location, or you bring a digital TV with you, you can watch local stations to verify the antenna, signal booster, and Cable/Antenna wiring to each location.

To verify the cable input, you'd need something like an older piece of video equipment (like a VCR) that has a coax output. Connect it to the cable TV input, set the output to channel 3 or 4, and you should be able to pick it up at the TV (with signal booster OFF), on channel 3 or 4. You could use the same setup to test the satellite inputs.

Jamie, cost you a little money but buy a signal toner. Attach signal generator to one end and check other end with receiver which will emit tone if good connection. Got mine at Home Depot
