Jensen Antenna

I have a Jensen TV antenna on my travel trailer. The antenna works awesome on "air" and the available channels come in really clear. The problem I have is a fuzzy picture when I switch to cable TV when using RV park cable. If I run the coaxial cable directly from the park cable box to my television, the picture is clear. However, if I run the coaxial cable from the park cable box to the outside RV cable connector, then from the Jensen coaxial connector in my TT, then to my television, I get a fuzzy picture. So, the problem must be between the outside of my TT and the Jensen TV outlet/ switch on the inside.

Could the problem be the switch? My Jensen TV antenna interior outlet has a 12 volt socket, a coaxial connection, a switch for air/cable and a fuse. I have checked all the connections behind the interior outlet and exterior coaxial connection and everything is tight. I hope it's not in the wiring.

Has anyone else experienced this and do you have any ideas what could be the problem?


Thanks!

  • Thank you for your responses. The top of my socket plate is a 12 volt socket. Directly below that is the control switch: the left is air, the middle is off and the right is cable. Just below the switch and slightly to the left is a fuse. If I turn the switch off, there is no picture on the TV, both on air and cable. This is my first Jensen antenna as my previous travel trailers had Winegard antennas with the antenna booster.

    Any other ideas?

    If it is the same as a Winegard, the switch does choose cable or antenna and also turns the power on to the amplifier when in the antenna position.
