Just got back from weekend away. Everything works great on the coach with the exception of the TV's. This was the first campground where we have had cable tv hookups (I don't have a Satellite system yet).
We were in the mountains of western PA, so no reception with regular antenna, but I couldn't get either TV to reccognise the cable input. No matter what I tried, all it kept displaying was "no video input".
I'm reasonably good mechanically and reasonably intelligent ........ but sometimes electonic critters and remotes jusr frustrate the hell ou of me ! DVD worked fine, wound up watching movies .
Ours is a 2013 36RL, has Toshiba TV and LG DVD system in Living room, can't remember what bedroom TV is. Both sets worked before very well on the antenna.
Any suggestions on what might be wrong or what I might have done wrongare appreciated ........ if I need to go hire an 18 year old to fix this I will. My dealer is useless for this stuff.

Couple of thoughts here... first go to the bedroom TV and right above it to the right is a small push button to turn on/off the antenna power boaster. If it's on it should illuminate a small green light. You need it on for TV and off for cable. Second, ensure that the TV/Cable remote is properly set with the "Input" button on the top left hand side of the remote. Hope this helps.

Never thought about turning off the booster ~ will try that. Did go through the inputs and even did a channel search on both.

Also on the TV remote hit the "Menu" button and on the icons scroll to "Setup". Scroll down to "Installation" enter and go to "Input Configuration" - enter. Change "Ant/Cable In" to "Cable" from "Antenna". Then back out to "Channel Program" and re-run it - should be good to go.Edited by: Adamsvr

On my trailer I connect the cable through the service bay area but not to the connection marked cable. My trailer has 3 connections, one is marked cable, one is marked satellite and one is not marked at all. I have to hook my cable through the 3ard connection that is not marked.
I hope this helps

I tried 2 out of the 3, wanna bet which one might be the right one ??? Looking forward to Rally, should be a blast meeting everyone.
Also wanted to mention, we're just on the North side of Baltimore, just off I-95. We usually go somewhere every other weekend so if any of you East Coast Redwooders are coming through this summer or fall, send a note and we'll catch up with you somewhere. It's only about a 2 hour tow for us to the ocean City, MD - Chincoteague VA area.

Is this YOUR modification or the way we need to follow? I have NOT used cable yet as we have satellite. Thank you.

I didn't modify it...it's just the way my trailer was built
