Re: Some TV's get cable, some do not...WHY?!?!?
...and the verdict is in. Although a simple search on the Internet will tell you that ALL Vizio TV's are equipped with QAM Tuners, they are not. I spoke with a Vizio rep who confirmed that the D32h-J04 does NOT have the QAM Tuner as expected. I believe that solves this puzzle. So, those of you who walk people down the path of checking cables, boxes, spitters, etc...have them first check if the Tuner is QAM. Consider this issue done.1.2KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Some TV's get cable, some do not...WHY?!?!?
Mr. Wizard...I think the QAM you referenced may be the issue. In your post, you stated that both Vizio models had QAM. I can not find that info. As a matter of fact, I can't find any info on the 2023 D32h-J04. Plenty on the J09, but not the J04. I'm beginning to think the J04 does not have a QAM Tuner...still looking for info on that specific model to confirm.1.2KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Some TV's get cable, some do not...WHY?!?!?
Mr. Wizard...I'm thinking along the same lines as you...but, what exactly would be the difference? It must be something to do with the digital tuners. Beuller? Beuller? Anyone? ...and why would older sets be able to de-crypt a signal and newer models not? It's not adding up...which means there is knowledge out there that we are all lacking. Someone knows this answer!! Speak now!! ...please.1.2KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Some TV's get cable, some do not...WHY?!?!?
Guys, you clearly aren't reading the main thread. The TV's were not connected inside the RV. They were connected directly to the cable box at the 50/30amp post. This has absolutely nothing to do with internal RV cables, boxes, antennas...nil. All of the TV's were disconnected and set-up outside and tested individually...all scanned for antenna and cable...some found channels...some did not. It has to be something to do with the type of signal and/or tuners. Older sets (2018) seem to find channels fine...newer sets did not.590Views0likes0CommentsRe: Some TV's get cable, some do not...WHY?!?!?
Yes, yes, and yes... INPUT was set correctly, scanned on "Antenna" and "Cable", walked through the set up several times and had the Vizio rep on the phone with me for over 45min. I'm beginning to think it has something to do with 2018 models/tuners vs newer models/tuners. Guys, seriously, not user error here...I'm above average on technology...but can't for the life of me figure out the answer. Thought maybe a TV or Cable Guru could educate me...347Views0likes0CommentsSome TV's get cable, some do not...WHY?!?!?
I'm usually pretty savvy about tech issues, but this has me stumped.... My Class A has 5 TV's, they all work, all get OTA TV signals, etc... This week was the first time we tried to connect to the local RV Resort's cable...some of the TV's receive/process the signal fine, but 2 do not. I checked every option to include taking all TV's down and hooking them directly to park's outside cable. I EVEN BOUGHT A BRAND NEW TV... and it did not receive/process the cable signal either (returned it). It's not the Antenna/Cable option, it's not the cables, it has nothing to do with anything other than something must be different about how the sets are receiving/processing the signal. Tuner issues? Has anyone ever heard of this situation? I scanned the Internet and came across several who described the same situation, but ultimately were fed lines about splitters, new cables, etc. Please....these TV's were all hooked up directly to the outside cable...literally, you could unplug the coax from one TV that worked fine, plug it into a different TV (even the brand new one) and it wouldn't find a signal. If I had hair, I would pull it all out!!! One of the TV's that receives channels is a Vizio D32f-F1...the brand new one that would not find channels (using the exact same coax staight from the outside box) was a Vizio D32h-j04. Could it be an age thing? The Vizio that receives/processes the local cable is 2018 and the newer TV was 2023...would that matter?4.5KViews0likes22Comments
