Well I'm sure he appreciates all the info. He certainly has received an education here since he started looking.

Sure appears the advice given has worked and the OP is currently watching his favorite shows since we haven't had an update.

luberhill, exactly what video equipment do you have, ie, television set, is it a digital set with both cable and HDMI inputs? What make and model antenna do you have and is it a 12 vdc powered antenna? Is there an video distribution box, also called a B.O.M.B.? Do you have a DVD or Bluray disc player? Satellite?

Have you read the all instruction manuals that you may have? A little more info will make things go better.

I have to turn off the antennae and push the cable button on a panel.

That is the most common issue
Many (Most?) RV's have a wall plate with as 12 volt outlet. an antenna connnecton a switch and a LED. on some THOR class C's with Jack antennas it is in a small cupbord just forward of the entry door (High level) behind the wall wart for the Sure Lock Pile of junk. (I'm not a fan of the Jack by the way)

LED off. = Cable

Others have a box of many buttons. Make sure the proper button is pushed

Mine has a bad coax.. I'm planing on tracing later this year.

Then you need to set the tv to cable (Some models) and rescan (All models)

THe folks who tlaked about Channel 3/4.. Ignore them.

Finally one more bit: SOME CABLE COMPANIES (This is not a park issue but a provider issue) have gone all encrypted digital. YOU MUST have a "Set top box" to get a picture on these systems.

...and FWIW it's a routing switch also.

Also there may be a BOMB (box of many buttons) that may need to get switched.
