Cable TV

Both TV's in our rig work fine on the antenna - even get an HDTV picture, as long as we hava a signal. This past weekend was our first trip to a park with cable, so I hooked up and couldn't get a picture. Any suggestions?

Turn off the antenna booster. I don’t know where it is on the alpine, but look around the TV area(s). It’s usually near an antenna connection and has a light to let you know it’s on.

Or the park’s cable TV doesn't work. That happens, too.

On our Alpine, the antenna booster is above the bedroom TV. Look for a little LED light and push button switch. Once done, you will need to get on the TV menu and shift the antenna input from Air to Cable. Then resample the stations.

Thanks

geo & sdayman,
Thanks! The antenna booster switch is in the ceiling above the bedroom TV. I'll switch it off next time I have a chance to hook up to cable.
Appreciate the tip,

When I went last week I also had to unattach the antenna cable to the back of my main tv and attach the cable coax to it. I never did get the bedroom tv to pickup any cable.

It sounds to me as if you had the cable hooked the Sat. input if so equipped. Don't know what model trailer you have. (no sig) Cable input should be split by the booster switch.
