HD Antennae overriding cable

I recently purchased a 2015 KZ MXT 303. I hooked RV park cable up to the trailer last weekend, but did not get cable channels. I realized that I was getting digital channels from the antennae which I did not have extended. It is a Wineguard unit. I located an on/off switch on the coax plate. Turning this on or off did not make a difference. The TV is an LG. I could not find any setting or anything to turn off antennae. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

On many RVs, the antenna signal booster needs to be turned off (often a little red button on a coax plate somewhere) in order for the cable signal to be passed through. Make sure that is off (a little red light should turn off) and do as MrWizard instrucgted and make sure the TV input is on "Cable" rather than "Antenna."

On this LG, the only coax input is "TV". When you run the channel finder, it asks if you want to include antennae. If you select no, nothing happens. Therefore, I'm thinking the issue may be related to the TV, but wanted to see if anyone had any ideas.

You have to go to menu on the TV select 'tuner" Select "tuner mode" select "cable" select "auto channel scan" let scan run when all channels are done loading select exit.

On my KZ, the Antenna / Park power switch plate was wired incorrectly (the antenna was not connected at all). Might be something similar on yours, maybe park cable is not connected behind the plate.
