TV channels

[albirk]

We have a New Jayco Pinnacle the tv in the living room gets about 30 channels from the antenna but the bedroom will only get 6 I have the antenna booster on. What am I missing our old camper had the same channels on all the TV's.

Off the top of my head I can think of two possibilities.

First, different brands of TV's can be more/less sensitive in borderline signal acquisition. Are they the same make? But even then, depending on signal strength, that might have something to do with it. If it were me, I would take the tv in the bedroom down and connect it to the TV feed and see if things change.

Second would be a loose connection somewhere that is allowing signal bleed to the bedroom outlet. I would pull the outlet cover off and make sure those connections are tight as well as the other end if you can access it.

They are different brands I will check into things deeper this weekend. It will be the first trip out for the year and it is raining..


Happy camping

I think there is power buttons on both locations?
Maybe the one in the bedroom is off.
Small push button, hard to see.

Last weekend we were at KOA. Cable signal was terrible until we discovered we had the button on for antennae :-)

I have looked everyplace thinking the same thing I can not find one. It is a 36FBTS if that helps anyone.

If you have one, it will be on the plate near the AC plug in.

Nope, BR TV is fed from LR booster.

Assuming you are doing the TV MENU in both the Living room and the Bed room... You also have to select the correct mode ANT or CABLE etc.. for both TV sets and scan for TV signals both digital and analog...

It could be the front TV is capable of receiving Digital TV signals and the Bedroom TV is not etc...

Maybe swapping TV's around or bringing in a portable TV that works on both Analog and Digtal TV and try that at both locations...

Sometimes using a separate RG cable and make connections bypassing all of the interior antenna wiring may help identify possible problems areas...
