We have 19 Samsung LCD TV in the front bedroom and it will only recieve air signals? When we get to a campground , we program each tv the same and can not get any cable stations. The dealer is stumped as the coach is only 2 months old??They tell me all the connections are made and are good?

In the settings did you switch it from cable to antenna or vice versa?

Do you have a "Selector" box near the front TV that you can select the "Signal Source" for each TV? It is usually a box that has buttons labled, Antenna, Cable, VCR, DVD, and Satalite, for the "Front" TV and also buttons for the "Rear" TV. To use cable you have to push the "Cable" button for the "Rear" TV and then go to the rear TV and go to "Setup" and select "Cable" for the source, then run "Auto channel" and it should work. If you don't have one of these selector boxes, I don't know how they send the different signals back to the rear TV and as you are finding out, you only have a Coax lead from the Antenna and not a coax lead from the "cable". Check this out and let us know what you find.

Get a piece of cable long enough, and a double female cable connector.

Then connect the input into the front TV to the cable, and the other end to the back TV.

If it gets all the cable channels now, then the problem is probably in the wiring. If it doesn't, the problem is probably in the TV.

You can also reverse the patch cable and feed the signal from the back into the front TV for a second check.

Thanks for those two ideas , When I get back to the trailer i will check out the box first ( I do have one ) and than if that does not work, I will run a long cable from front to back. I will advise when I get it !!!
