  Robert HamptonAug 30, 2025
  If you're seeing “noise” or “trash” on your Vizio HDTV screen: * It might be because your HDTV's digital capabilities are exceeding the digital broadcast signal, causing the signal to be up-converted to match your TV’s display capabilities. * If you're using an antenna, the signal strength of the channel may be low. Make sure your antenna is connected securely to the TV and move the antenna around the room or close to a window.
