Over the air reception question

[rvingxtc]

Went camping last weekend, cranked up the antenna, adjusted the signal meter, and pulled in 9 channels on the TV in the living room. (Jensen, stock one that came with the trailer). Turned on the no name brand TV I bought for the bedroom and pulled in 20 stations. Anyone know why the difference in reception of stations between the 2 TV's?

Oh come on guys, the RV salesman said it is an RV television without any moving parts and rugged enough to withstand the banging around in an RV. Surly he must know what he is talking about, he's an RV salesman.

Okay, that was a slam on salesmen. So here is what I did, went to Best Buy and bought two Insignia TV sets and they always work and cost half of a Jensen. The viewing angle is great and the DW or the DGKs can change channels for me from the bedroom.

Oh! that's not good is it, messing with the old "GDude".

The quality of the tuner & other electronics in the Jensen is rock-bottom, producing a very poor signal/noise ratio through the TV.... therefore no picture.

Brand. Replace the Original Equipment one with one from Walmart. OEM stuff is designed for Manufacturers to install cheaply. If it works, ok. If it doesn't work very well, that's OK also.
