Enjoy your maiden camping trip !!! Great looking family you've got to share it with you !!!

As for the TV reception, did you go into the TV menu (onscreen) select "OTA" or Over the Air (not cable) and do a channel scan? If not, the TV receiver won't recognize anything coming in from the antenna (which still may be "worthless and/or disconnected") But without the channel scan, it's a guaranteed fail......
