The Television won't pick up the cable channels

For some reason my TV refuses to pick up the cable at the park I'm in. It's good signal at the post because it was checked. Not sure if it's my cable I use to hook up to it yet. Yes, the antenna boost...

And as I said ELEMENT TV's won't pick up Cable TV.

Also.... Some cable systems are encrypted. no STB (Set Top Box) NO TV
The one I'm watching now is that way.


If the park advertises they have cable TV and it requires a STB, you would think they would provide one? Or do you need to carry a compartment full of misc STBs compatible with the cable systems wherever you camp? For all we know the OP may have a 1962 Magnavox console.
