Cable in the RV Park
When I go to an rv park and cable is available, how does it work? Do you plug into your Motorhome, and it comes up on your tv, or what do I need to get cable?

- Yes the plugins in the basement are likely correct. Change TV to cable view intead of Over the Air view, it is likely in your tv setup procedures.
- Every RV park I've been to so far, cable means the old analog cable channels that TVs have been equipped to receive since the 1980s "cable ready."
You bring your cable, connect it from their outlet to your connector, where ever it is (utility compartment, sidewall, or direct to TV if RV is not cable ready).
Turn off the booster for your antenna, that usually interferes with cable reception.
Your cable-ready TV has a menu with options for the tuner. There will be
"Antenna (or broadcast)" and one or more "Cable" options. Switch to one of the "Cable" options, there were several sets (bands) of cable channels, but most of the interesting stations are on the lower numbered channels, and those are the same for most cable bands. Then do a scan to let the TV find the active cable channels. - what do I change to tv to.
I have cable plugins in my basement, I suppose that is where I plug it into, right? - Plug it in, turn off the antenna booster and change the input on your TV.
