How to fix weak signal on Strong SRT 8215 TV Receiver after moving it?

  Brandon BradleySep 8, 2025
  If you've moved your Strong TV Receiver and can no longer receive digital reception, the antenna signals may be too weak. Press the INFO button twice on the remote control to view the signal bars and adjust the antenna for optimal reception. If that doesn't work, rescan the channels. If you're using an active antenna, ensure the antenna power setting is enabled. As a last resort, try using an outdoor antenna.

  If the video playback on your Strong TV Receiver causes picture freeze, macro blocks, or similar distortion, especially on HD content, the read speed of your USB device could be too low. Use a USB storage device with sufficient speed and space. Note that pen drives (‘USB sticks') may not support sufficient speed.
