Still can not get any channels on my TV????

I have a 2004 Winnebago Sightseer that we just bought and trying to check out every thing as we should. Been having trouble getting the TV to work getting channels. First we got a new Antenna from Camping World. Second we got a new Winegard Sensor Pro.Still no channels? Then went to Walmart and got a TV Amplifler. Still no channels. The TV goes through two scans them press exit as directed and it says scans the channels again. What am I doing wrong? I need help on this.

    To use the tv with an analog to digital converter, yes, the converter must be turned on, the tv set to the correct channel for the convert output, and then yoou have the converter do the scan, not the tv.

    Is this the original TV? If so, it's likely an analog receiver and all the over the air broadcasts now are digital. If that's the case you need a digital to analog converter. They're available online or at Walmart.

    If you have old style TV it will want analog signal. If it is a new flat screen it want digital or analog. Most TV now is transmitted as digital signal. You most likely need a converter box so you can have a analog signal going it your TV.

    There could also be issues with the coax. If possible, run a feed directly from the antenna to the TV and see what happens.

    I had a similar issue with my basement TV, the wall barrel pass through connector had an F connector improperly installed preventing the coax's center conductor from connecting with the barrel connector.

    Is the TV Input set for antenna?
    Did you rotate your antenna in a different direction?
