poor cable reception

connect your tv directly to the park cable connection. Ir that works, then the problem is in your wiring or connections. Anything is possible.

But then, why would you expect a connection that says "Satellite" to work with cable?? Might look for the inside end of the cable, If you don't have a satellite receiver, it may not be connected to anything.

Turn off your built in antenna booster power switch.

Sat and cable hookups should be different.

Bet this is the issue



Sat...Cable
Same
Just have to have TV connected using same end of coax cable\

Here is a neat pictorial about the cable TV connections...

This is the Antenna Wall Plate that most of us use to connect to the OTA and Cable TV connections...

NOTE that is says you must have the WALL PANEL button pushed that turns off the small LED light to use the CABLE TV connectors at the camp ground pedestal...

My two connections that are side by side on the trailer has one labeled CABLE and the other labeled SAT. On my trailer I see no difference whether I use the CABLE TV or SAT TV connectors when I hook up to CABLE TV.. Either connection works the same on CABLE TV receptions from the camp ground pedestals on my trailer... They go to to the same spot I reckon inside my trailer wiring...

I do know that SAT TV operation requires a DC Voltage coming from the SAT RCVR to power up the SAT TV Head in the SAT DISH... When I have ever used the SAT DISH I run my own RG cables directly from the SAT DISH to the SAT RCVR inside my trailer.

The CABLE TV at the camp grounds do not need this DC Control voltage on the RG cable soI have no idea what the SAT TV connection actually does... Never traced it out...

Use a CABLE TV barrel and do a direct connections to your TV set with a 12-foot cable as suggested in the above posts and if that works great then something is not connected properly using the side mounted CABLE connector on your trailer.

Make sure TV is set to "cable" (probably under antenna menu) and after doing as instructed above, scan for channels.

Turn your remote to either cable or antenna

Thanks for all the input. Next time we are at a campground with provided cable, we will try your suggestions out.
