RE: More OTA Antenna Questions
Personally I would never go with a UHF only, VHF/UHF would me (and has been) my choice.
We have an AntennaCraftHD-360 (RadioShack) and find it works well. Of course, unlike the bat-wing I have to erect it, but it out performs the Jensen POS that came with the rig ("44" stations vrs "6") and putting a hand-crank antenna is not possible.

RE: How cold is too cold for LCD/flat panel tv?
It almost depends on the manufacturer. I know the Jensen TV that I have in my trailer is shockproof and cold proof so I never worry about my own stuff.
I'd think you'd probably be fine leaving it where it is, no matter what mfg makes your unit. In sub zero temps, the TV is probably fine. I haven't read any horror stories about people losing their TV's on RV.net yet!

Broadcast From Win7 Laptop To TV
I have some ideas on how I'd do it, but I'm not sure that I'm not looking at too much effort and equipment to do it.
I have a Win 7 laptop and a Jensen TV in the TT. I'd like to be able to broadcast content from my laptop to the TV. I have a MiFi it that matters.
How would you go about this?
Thanks,

RE: HD antenna
Speaking of t/t antennas.........
The Jensen brand Omni direction that came with the unit is defective.
The mfg is replacing it with a digital rv tv antenna.
The model # is ca2500b
from continu.us
This antenna looks like a clone between a omnidirection and a batwing. It does not rotate nor crank.
Has anyone had any experience with this antenna.
web site is continu.us
Thank you

RE: Jensen AWM 960 Replacement
Looks all I can find is another Jensen to fit in the hole in the entertainment center.
Have seen that mod# on EBay for $168.00 to $199.0 compared to reg. $373.00
Going to a more normal DIN mount unit opens up a number of possibilities that sound better and cost less than the Jensen.
If you're at all handy you can fab up a surround from some plexiglass, sheet metal or even a small cabinet door to fill the hole. Barring that come custom stereo shops are very good at making up sharp-looking installs for unique applications.

RE: Jensen AWM 960 Replacement
Not sure if it fits but I replaced my 910 with this:
AWM975
It has HDMI to feed both video and audio to my TV. It will NOT do surround through its speakers.
Works for me.

I got mine for $249 new from rvcams.com in 2012.

RE: Jensen AWM 960 Replacement
Name brand car stereos like Pioneer, Sony, Clarion, JVC just to name a few are typically used to replace Jensen and a bunch of other garbage OEM RV stereos...
Amazon or Crutchfield are typically good places to start your replacement hunt...

RE: OK Silly Sat TV Question....Looking for answers
Could he have meant the dish antenna? Making it satellite "ready".
Unfortunately Winegard also uses a different antenna for Dish or DirecTV also. So I still believe the salesman is either blowing smoke or only half heard what is new. There is nothing on the web site indicating anything.
As a side note, welcome, you will love your Creek, Ours is nine years old and still looks and works as new.
BTW they supply Jensen TV's so you might try and get a TV delete and just go out and buy quality TV;s when you get it.
If it fits I might put in on a track system behind the basement door and then go with better

RE: TV with 14v brick, okay at 12.x volts?
Snowman9000, about a month ago I replaced our Jensen TV that wasn't working with a Samsung UN22F5000AF. I haven't used it other than to install it and make certain that it works as the motorhome is winterized and stored right now. It worked fine off the same power lead that the Jensen was using after replacing the molex style connector with an adapter from Radio Shack that will fit the 14VDC jack in the back of the Samsung TV. (Enercell™ Adaptaplug T). Link
I soldered the power wires to the pins of the adapter and then encapsulated the connection with epoxy. I don't expect any problems using DC power from the RV rather than the AC adapter provided with the TV.

RE: Looking for DVD surround sound receiver
I bought this replacement:
Jensen
It may be an OK compromise for you too. It is really two units in one. It's internal sound processing outputs to three pairs of stereo speakers to three zones/rooms. It's DVD player upcales and has an HDMI out that allows the use of an HDMI input to a TV which is better than Composite RCA yellow. It will also except Digital Optical input but will downgrade it to stereo. Definitely not a home theater setup but fine for my rolling outhouse. It also accepts USB and stereo from other sources. Also has a weather band. It will NOT output 5.1 surround to its speakers.
I mainly bought it as it was a direct replacement for my original CD only model.

RE: auto turn on on my Jensen tv
Jensen 26” LCD TV - 110v JE2608 had a software flaw that turns them on automatically when left plugged in.
Jensen (ASA) sent me a circuit board to connect and flash the corrected software.
That fixed it for me. The other alternative is to unplug it at night.
Since then my Jensen radio/CD died just out of warranty and recently the TV 'locks up' so that no inputs work until I unplug it and plug it in again.
That's 3 failures on my 2 Jensen products in 4 years. No more Jensen for me.

RE: somewhat of an answer
we have a number of DVDs from europe because of
our 5 years there. Some default ton German or spanish.
so tis was the proble. in buying a portable DVD player,
a US or region 1 is noticably cheaper than an international
or all region player. by being able to change the region
encoding, we can watch all our DDVDs on one player. Now, if
I can only find how to change the Jensen in the RV

somewhat of an answer
Hi,
got somewhat of an answer to playing DVDs from different
regions. haven't found Jensen, but we found a way to hack
the portable dvd player. thru a set of instructions, we were
able to change the region to an all region player in the firmware.
so at least we now have an all region player.

RE: auto turn on on my Jensen tv
According to the Jensen manual for their 12V televisons they do not have an alarm function. The only auto-on feature I saw was if you have an HDMI CEC device attached the TV will automatically turn on when the device is activated. You can turn off that feature by going to the televisions "Picture" menu and scrolling down to the HDMI CEC option and turning off the "TV Auto Power" selection. If you have a device attached via an HDMI port (such as a DVD or stereo) make sure it does not have an alarm function and if it does make sure it's turned off.

auto turn on on my Jensen tv
Every morning at 9:30 my TV comes on automatically, I have tried scrolling through all the options on the remote and have not been able to find out how to turn this option off. Any Ideas?
