Cable TV not working

Hi:
I have an old TV, around 2000 I expect. I was at a campground that had cable TV but I could not get it on my old TV. The OTA TV aspect worked fine. I wonder if the TV was not equipped for the cable. I have connected the TV directly to the cable outlet in the cabin but still nothing. I have a Kodiak 2001 VXL 2000. I plan to check for continuity but wondered if the TV could be the problem?

    If cable box was needed CG would provide one.

    Old TV......suspect you mean 'analog' and use converter box for OTA signals

    You may need to bypass that converter box (A/B Switch or connect cable directly to TV)
    Also does TV have a 'menu' section......wold need to set TV to cable vs antenna

    Lots of cable companies now require one of the boxes to work.
