I had the same thing happen with a new Starcraft (made by Jayco). The factory TV could only pull in a few stations, yet the older TV I installed in the bedroom could pull in a couple dozen. I said all the things I read above about new cheap TV's and Starcraft/Jayco. But I was wrong - well sort of...
I tried the bedroom TV in the main room and it could only pull in a couple stations. Time to tear into the coax connections. Found the one going to the factory TV was defective. The center wire wasn't sticking our anywhere near enough. I put a new coax connector on the end and then to my surprise the new cheap TV got a few more stations that my old TV!
Had to take back everything I said about cheap TV's. But not so much for Jayco/Starcraft workmanship!
