Troubleshooting
No signal on one or both TVs
Check all cable connections to ensure they are securely connected. Also, rescan for channels on your TVs. Verify that your antenna is properly positioned and that the incoming signal is strong enough. Check the RF cable itself for damage or faults.
Poor picture quality or signal breakup
The signal might be too weak. Consider using a signal amplifier, especially if you have long cable runs. Make sure the cables are of good quality and in good condition. Check for interference from other electronic devices. Try shortening the cable runs if possible.
One TV works but the other doesn't
Check the cable connection to the TV that isn't working. Swap the cables at the splitter to see if the problem moves with the cable (indicating a cable issue) or stays with the TV (indicating a TV issue).
