I have a problem with my Telefunken 42 Inch LCD TV, I plug it in to the socket and the red light on the TV comes on, I then switch the TV on using the remote or the switch on the TV, the light turns blue, if the TV switched on it would stay blue and the The screen would come on, in this case the TV light goes back to red and the screen does not come on or no sound. The serial number on the TV is 0320090068. I am in South Africa in a town called Newcastle in the province Kwa zulu Natal

I apologize in advance for being too wordy, but this is my first time to post to a forum, and I’m trying to provide all relevant info for getting my questions answered. I have already done a lot of forum reading to get a basic understanding of how the connections work, but haven’t found a scenario to match our specific set up. I also realize that what I THINK I understand as stated below, may not be correct. Here’s the current configuration: There is a small flat rectangular unit with cables connected to it. This unit has 2 posts/plugs pointed toward where the cable comes into the house out of the floor. The cable entering the house is attached to the plug marked “RF-PWR TO AMP”. Next to that plug, on the same side of the unit, is another plug marked “PWR IN”, and the cable attached there connects to a one-post box plugged into the electrical outlet. Directly across from the first post, on the opposite side of the unit, is a plug marked “RF TV 5-1000 MHz”, and the cable attached there runs into the DVR cable box unit. Then our TV is connected to the DVR cable box. Question: Is that rectangular unit an “amplifier”? I know that the cable company DID install one initially to boost signal for improved reception on our second floor. It doesn’t seem to me that it is splitting anything, as there is just the main supply feed going to the unit, and then just one cable continuing to the cable box for one TV – i.e., no splits to multiple TV’s. FYI: We do have 2 other TV’s inside the house, but they are not attached here. They both attach directly to a cable outlet at the walls where they are located. We currently have no problems with signal strength at any of the TV’s. (I hope this won’t change with the drain of the additional cable line…guess we’ll find out!) For our computer, there is a separate cable coming into the house that connects directly into the computer modem. Here’s what we’re trying to do: We have brought in a second coaxial cable up through the floor which runs about 150 feet in conduit out to a garage/workshop. We want to tie in this 2nd cable to the main supply feed so we can watch TV out in the garage. I believe we need a splitter, but don’t know what kind or how to attach due to our current configuration. If the current rectangular unit is an amplifier, I figure we need to attach this 2nd cable beyond the point of amplification. Do we simply change out this 3-post unit for a 4-post unit (i.e., 2 plugs on each side)? Would that be called a 4-way splitter, even if it’s not actually splitting the cable signal 4 ways, but only to 2 TV’s? I may be getting confused by terminology. I would appreciate some guidance about WHAT hardware we need, and WHERE it goes in the wiring configuration. Thanks so much for any info you can share.
