- hellbird503ExplorerThank you for the suggestion, I think you are right
- Tom_M1ExplorerI would suggest the Winegard Sensar 4 (aka Batwing) which is considered the best RV antenna.
- hellbird503Explorerok, update, after 2 days the park notified us the cable was out, I should have checked. Did get some channels via the antenna on one tv. Bottom line is this antenna stinks, not near as good as the Winegard on my last unit. I used to get a lot more stations here at the same location. I guess I need to invest in a better antenna. Thanks everyone for your help. Dave
- HappyKayakersExplorerTake that same cable and TV to a different site and test again. Assuming nobody else in the park is having problems, I would suspect the cable.

Thanks for your reply. I have run channel searches on both tvs, for both antenna and cable, nothing. They do run through a splitter and the antenna booster. I even removed the antenna booster and checked the cables going into it. I also ran the cable from the campground directly into one tv, nothing. - wa8yxmExplorer IIIOk, first you did not remove the booster you removed the power inserter.
your OTA antenna booster is in the antenna
Now if neither OTA nor Park cable come through... It is likely the wall plate. BUT...
if only one (Park cable or OTA antenna) does not work it gets a tad more complex.
One issue, though I'd be surprised if this covered both TV's at one time... Is the crimp on connectors.. A good sneeze and they come off... if they have "Slipped" a bit then the center wire might not make contact.. - hellbird503ExplorerThanks for your reply.

- Sandia_ManExplorer IITry running a channel scan on both TVs again, maybe a power loss or something caused them to lose channel memory. Not sure if they run through splitters or other devices before signal reaches TVs, if possible connect signal directly. Good luck, I know my DW would be in panic mode without her TV programs, of course I would miss my sports as well.
