Couldnt get cable tv to work

[tex_wardfan]

I remembered to buy a cable for our latest trip but when I hooked it up it did not work. I put it in the cable tv port on the outside of the trailer. I was wondering if I should have put it in the satellite port instead and hooked the tv on the inside to the satellite port. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. The tv works with the roof antenna.

Yes, I turned off the power boost button but it still said no input. They don't charge extra where I stayed for cable. I never did try using the satellite connection but I will next time. I get a real good picture down in Galveston from the Houston stations with the power boost and the exterior antenna.

Does the CG require an extra fee for TV cable service? They may have their end of the cable turned off.

If its not the power boost button then try using the satellite connection. The last two rigs I purchased had the cable and satellite connections on the rig wired backwards. As soon as i swapped they worked properly.Then just changed the labels!

There is probably a switch/button to power boost the antenna. This must be off when using cable. Also, the TV may have a cable/antenna menu, and with modern TVs you must go through the search mode every time you relocate. Yeah, real pain. But I'm betting it I the power boost antenna button.

Did you make sure the roof antenna power was switched off? That also switches the TV connection to the cable input. The TV does need to do a channel scan of course.
