Bedroom TV no reception?

[bcircus]

I have a 2011 Montana 5th wheel. First time camping in unit. We are in a campground hooked up to cable. Have TV in living room working fine. Hooked up to COACH cable inlet. I assume that means both TV's. Have tried to scan channels in Bedroom TV. Can not get anything on Bedroom TV. Have tried several times on every type of Cable type. I would think auto scan would fine any or all stations on the cable. I even went directly from another cable output directly to the Sat/Cable inlet for bedroom only. All wire seem to be hooked up. Even tried to use outside antenna on air setting. Still nothing. Is there something I am missing, switch? another cable? Any help would be appreciated.

Had same problem with mine factory forgot to connect coaxial to inlet . took storeage compartment panel down followed cable up connected ( Done).

Just a thought. My bedroom TV has a much better tuner than the main set. Same brand, different sizes and ages. The BR set gets half again as many OTA channels as the big one for any particular antenna heading.

This makes sense. Especially if there are two (male) coax ports on one plate behind the living room TV. OP, use a short jumper to connect the two and try the bedroom TV again.

My bedroom cable has a splitter in the line that also feeds the outside jack (factory setup). Might research a problem there. My splitter is located by the video selector box, near the main TV.
Over the air signals have to be pretty strong for me to have the same channels playing on both TVs, cable no problem. For a weak signal, the bedroom TV goes south first.
Also had a problem once getting over the air stations on the bedroom TV after going to a campground with cable. I had to go into the TV setup and make a change there. I would run a cable directly to the TV and see if it works that way.

I had Wineguard selector box go bad 3 times, they dont make it any more. As some one already said pull cable in a window and hook direct to TV and see if it works,

Might be as simple as making sure your TV is on channel 3 (or 4 if that is required)before you switch to cable. Also, I do not think it is required to channelize the TV if you are on a cable because the TV tuner is not used on cable. Good luck.

Run a coax directly from the cable box to the back TV through a window and verify that the TV is OK. Next use a wire tracer or DVM and trace and verify the coax location and it's connection. Ditto from the back TV coax. When you find the other end of the back TV coax connect it to a signal and see if the back TV works. Since OTA is OK on the front TV you could use it initially and get that portion working.

If you have a powered antenna then the connection to the back TV will be after the power panel. Somewhere there will be a splitter for the back TV. Pull that panel out and look for a second coax and behind the front TV connection.

The problem could be almost anything: bad coax, bad connector, not connected, bad splitter, switch box and more.

Yes, first thing I did was turn off booster for antenna.
Thanks though.

[Mile_High]

Maybe the obvious, but did you turn off the antenna booster? Those will kill reception through cable or satellite.

[Allworth]

Our selector is by Wineguard. Outputs for three TVs with 4 inputs for each plus the OTA booster switch.

I have one of these switch panels. Each set of buttons controls one of the tv's. You need to set each for the source before you scan the stations. http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/a556/homedad2/c6a32e99-da15-490f-a6bf-ad50a4126a9a_zps5337f770.jpg

If this was a previously owned unit, maybe the previous owner "forgot" to leave it behind. If you see a bunch of loose coaxial cables in the main TV area, that is what might have happened.

The VCC box "video selector" in my unit is similar to this:

In our 2012 Cougar there is a jumper cable behind the living room TV that has to be connected in order to pass the signal forward to the bedroom TV. Might be the same on your coach.
