Help! No TV

[LuckyDuck]

We just pulled into our campsite, which doesn’t have cable TV. So I turned on the antenna boost (green light) and did a channel scan. Nothing. There’s a chance we just can’t get any OTA channels but we’re close to a city so I doubt it. And we’ve gotten them in other locales using the antenna. Is there anything else I should do? Does the short coax jumper remain connected to the two coax plugs? Thanks!

Did you change the TV from cable to Air/antenna ?

Go to tv menu and look for input first and select TV. Then go to channels and select auto program or scan. Then select antenna and let it start scanning. Hopefully that helps.

 

[LuckyDuck]

Yes, I did select air/antenna and did a scan. It looks like we’re just in a bad spot that is shielded from signals. Thanks for the help!

You can try rotating the antenna if you have that function.

Many times you can be in a blind spot but don't let it ruin the trip. We carry a nice selection of DVD's for those times.

Thanks Norty. Tried rotating — just in a hole I guess. Plenty of magazines!

Have you tried the phone app "Antenna Point" yet? It tells you where the towers are and how far away. I did that to watch a college football game from a tower 47 miles away. I pointed, power boosted, channel scanned and it was a perfect picture evn though my team lost.

Haven’t heard of that one. I’ll check it out. Thanks!

A little off topic, but what is the looped white cable and what is it's purpose? I have wondered since we bought our trailer what it did

 

[PNWDriver]

I believe thats the jumper from your outside cable/satellite connection.

Anyone near you that you can see which way their antenna is pointing? Does anyone in the adjacent sites have reception?

 

[LuckyDuck]

Well, I tracked down the camp host who said reception at our end of the campground is pretty much non-existent. Have to be up at the top and then it’s sketchy. I’ve never been this close to decent cities and not one channel! At least I know it’s not my cables or TV. So I feel better. Thanks all!
