Bat Wing TV - no reception
Owned my camper for 7 years and just getting around to trying a TV with the bat wing antenna. All I'm getting is snow in my driveway at home. Any secrets to making this system work?

There are TWO digital standards and a few non-standard schemes in use.
ONE is ATSC, this is digital over the air broadcast and was NOT an option on the menu page you posted
One is, I think QAM.. This is a common cable TV scheme used across the nation for DIGITAL cable TV, it can be High Def or Standard depending on the program source.. This is why you get High Def Wide screen at home.
The few non-standard ones are used by cable companies that require you use a Set Top Box. I will now tell you all I know about them,, Now that we have that completed.
If your set has HDMI and a wide screen the 50 dollar Set Top converter is the way to go. Now days all mine do.. My converters do not (Far as I know) but my TV's do.. need to check one of the converters as HDMI would solve a minor issue when setting up.
