Digital cable TV
Some cable co's. are going digital. I have the digital adaptor for over the air antenna that works well. Would there be an adaptor that would plug into the end of the cable where I pug it into my RV...

Would there be an adaptor that would plug into the end of the cable where I pug it into my RV. I have 110 outlet there.
Stopped in Bishop Ca. The only cable tv provider has gone digital and my tvs would not work. Would it would work the same as the over air antenna box and need a separate remote to work the channels?
Anyone have one yet? The campground said they had an adaptor but you would have to access the back of the tv.
the over-the-air (OTA) digital-to-analog converter box you have will not work on digital cable. and each cable system is different so there is no generic or one-size-fits-all digital cable box. when you run into these situations you'll need a set-top box for that specific cable system.
do you have an installed video selector switch...a box that allows you to select OTA, cable, a VCR/DVD player, etc? if that selector switch has an unused port (maybe marked AUX) you could install a length of RG-6 coax (75-ohm) on that port and use that to connect to a campground's digital cable set-top box when needed. when those situations happen just connect the cable box, push the AUX button on the selector and away you go.
