When there is no signal, does it go to static (black and white)?

It goes to a blue screen. If using with a Raspberry Pi, put a relay to power it off.

Yea it has a setting where it'll go into stand-by mode if it doesn't detect signal for a certain amount of time. It's about 20 minutes before it goes into stand-by.

No, but the signal can get interfered with depending on the object. It might cut out a bit. For best sound try not to be in different rooms

We have not had any problems with static from the wireless network or anything else. We have had two of them going at the same time for several months now. That is definaltey not a complaint I have.

I'm trying to find out the same thing. It's weird. Mine detects stations that are very faint yet misses some of the major ones with strong signals. So how do I get those major stations?!? Hello Creative Labs: You're missing some obvious features, so plus update so you'll really be the best.

have you tried using a higher quality HDMI cable? Also, sometimes those cables can have small breaks in them that are not visable from the outside. And it will cause the source signal to drop.. are you getting a black/blank screen?? Or an error message??

I did not get any signal at all. I returned it. I tried it on three televisions, including a neighbor. Some people have had very good results I did not.

I was using the cable with a PS3, and the "static" appeared regardless of what I was doing: playing games, watching a movie, going through the menus. Perhaps static is not the best word - it's not as though the entire screen went to snow. I could still see the picture, however there was definitely visual, random, moving interference on top. As for isolating the cable as the problem, I tried switching to another HDMI input, the problem persisted. I tried updating the PS3 firmware, the problem persisted. I checked the tv settings, nothing really to change there. I swapped the cable for another (GE), voila!, "static" gone. Maybe not scientifically indisputable, but a fair application of the process of elimination. Fwiw, Amazon did honor the warranty and send me a replacement cable. I opted to stick with the GE because it's performance has been solid so far.

Only if there's nothing playing. When I'm playing music or podcasts, I don't notice any static or feedback.

if you have a bad signal it will just boost the bad signal. it does not give you more signal strength

I have mine connected through a reciever for a whole bunch of devices and sometimes the signal only shows 2 channels. I had to turn off everything and turn it back on then it works fine

If your static is due to a ground loop issue, this will resolve the issue. I would say that it is likely to fix the problem or at least make it better.

If signal is received at window then this unit will work. But cannot creat a signal if it is not their!!!

I don't know. All I can tell you is that I have a tv, computer, two stereos and dvd player plugged in. If I connect any one of the to another or turn all on at once I get no hum or static. The volume is a little reduced with each button pushed down but no other issues. It shouldn't matter but maybe a shielded cable? I used to have an old computer that produced radio frequency interference. It made static on the older tube type television if it was close to it when I connected cheap audio cable to it.. just throwing that out. Good luck.

I haven't noticed that at all. I've cranked it up past 50 a few times with nothing out of order. Wonder if something else is interfering with the signal?

Sorry. Not sure. I live in a rural community and have mine hooked up at work because for some reason all I would get is static at home. I was told it is because of the rock/adobe walls! I work at a law enforcement office and the channels work properly there.

my experienced was that I have an flat old tv that did no pick up signal from a pc,i swaped pc tower and also tested input of tv with dvd and my answer was probably i got a defected one,with no time to returned i just forgot about it
