Another TV question

I have a 2008 32tk3 MS with samsung,sony pkg. I cannot get the bedroom tv to work on the roof antenna, works fine on cable or sat. I also cannot get the basement tv to work on the roof antenna but it works great on cable. The living room tv works great on air,cable ,and sat. I have tried most combinations on the antenna switchbox with no luck..

thks

Syringa

If you don't have the converter in your RV installed, you won't get a signal these days.

Bobw, they have not switched over, as originally planned. Uncle Sam delayed startup until June 09.

It could be more of the hay-wiring that the factory is known for. I'd suggest ohming or toning out the coax between each TV and the video switch....to verify conductivity. Take the switch plate off, and check the coax portion behind the switch plate to the video switch, with the switch plate out of the circuit first.
It took me a full day to get my wiring corrected.

Regards

I know that on the older ones, not sure about the new ones...... You have to get into the TV menu and change it from cable to antenna...

Agree. Go to your on screen menu and change the source to 'antenna' or 'air'

There is probably a splitter behind TV 2.

That would mean that they are hooked up together. Therefore just put it on TV2 when you want to watch outside.

The only time that would cause a problem would be if someone was watching Tv in the bedroom and you were
outside and wanted to change channels other wise both will work at the same time or by there selves.
