Cable TV @ Campgrounds

When I check in they give me a list of channels availble... But when I hook up with coax I only get channels 2 thru 13... Do I need some kind of cable box or something else??? Thank you
  • Sounds like the RV park has gone with a basic package.

    To get the other channels unscrambled you would need a receiver box from the cable company. Check with the office they may be able to provide a box while you are there.

    We decided to go with Dish Network Satellite service I was tired of dealing with the differences in the "cable" offerings from the various RV parks. Plus the signal quality was usually poor.

    Now we get all of the channels we want whereever we go as long as we can see the southerner sky.
  • some campgrounds will give you the basic channels but you have to pay a little more a day for the rest. did you turn off the TV booster?

  • Thanks for your reply... I get the other channels but they are scrambled or not viewable...
  • Maybe you need to have your TV "learn" the channels. I know when we go to different parks, I occasionally have to learn the channels. It akes a few minutes to do this.
