Ghosting means multiple overlaid TV images or "ghosts" which you can notice around the objects while watching TV. Ghosting is caused by the broadcast signal travelling to your TV through various obstacles, for example hills or tall buildings, and your antenna picks up the original TV signal along with signals reflected by the obstacles. If the ghosting is changing rather than static, it may be caused by the signal reflected by flexible objects, for example trees. Other causes can include poor cable connections. Never connect two cables together without the correct coaxial fittings as this can cause loss of signal and ghosting of your picture.

Snowing reception is usually due to a weak received signal. This can be caused if you are too far from a TV transmitter, or if the signal is blocked by hills, large buildings or even trees. This symptom can also be caused by Adjacent Channel interference in some cases. When constantly changing locations it may be necessary to fine tune your TV set, particularly with an older set.
Flashing is generally caused by poor or loose connections. Check your fittings ensuring they are securely connected. Check your external fittings for water or condensation.
Trees and other large objects believe or not are the biggest problem when camping. When setting up try to locate a position that will give your antenna a clear line of sight towards the television stations. A good indicator of where the television stations are located is to look at direction of other people's antennas.
Other Solutions - If you are still experiencing problems try a couple of quick methods to isolate the problem. First connect your Nifty Antenna directly into your television. If this fixes the problem then your feeder cable (or amplifier, if applicable) may be the source of the problem. If this doesn't isolate the problem, try your Nifty Antenna in another person's television set.
