OK, thanks. Need to take a trip and try it out at an RV park. Trying to make it too hard anyway. I'm just coming through a hole in the side of the trailer, no amplifier, etc. So all that stuff about pushing buttons does not apply.
While that may be what you are doing, that it likely not the way the coach was designed and if all of the original wiring is in place you will have an amplifier for the OTA TV antenna on the roof. Are you able to watch your local Network TV programming using your OTA TV antenna?
If you have no use for this discussion then take the coax that runs from the park coax connection and connect it to the back of the TV where it says TV Input. Select the Channel Scan Option and be sure to change it from Antenna to Cable. If that works for you then you can buy an A/B switch and put the coax currently going into the TV in the A port and the Cable coax in the B port and run a short coax jumper to the TV. Now, just pushing the a/b button would give you OTA TV or Cable TV.
