<< It seems that i'm having a problem. I have a tv in the living room and the TechTV channel is fine. I have a second tv in my room and the TechTV channel is not even visible, all i get is audio. Is the problem lies between the cheapo cable that i used? or is it because i splitted the cable into two (one in the living room and one in my room) >>
Is the channel scrambled, black/blue screen, some sort of barker channel? If any of these are yes, then your cable company might not have "activated" your converter box for that TV. (you do have a legal converter box for the tv right?)
If not... i would try replacing the box on that tv with the box from the working tv, could be a bad converter box... or could be bad splitter. What type of splitter did you use? where did you get the splitter/cable? Please don't say Radio Crap...
