Hi everyone: Can someone please tell me why I can not get all the cable channels listed in a park? My TV is eight years old (the problem?)and when we hook to cable, we only get to channel 21. We can punch in 25, 66 etc but no reception. To day we are at a park that lists 2 through 49, but ours shuts off at 22. How come?
Go into the menu on your tv and select cable not air or antenna and make sure to turn off the antenna preamp on your antenna wall plate (green LED off, there is a push switch next to the LED).

If running auto tune doesn't work, be aware that at some RV parks the cable companies use a decoding scheme that requires the TV to be set to accommodate it.
There are four modes out there - TV, STD, HRC, IRC.
STD, HRC, IRC are the cable decoding modes.
If you are in a park where you can't get higher channels and they are supposed to be there, try going into your TV setup menu and selecting another decode scheme.

TY, that gave me a good laugh. I shall try the other suggestions. I turned on and off that little light, that just goes from over the air to cable. I will look into programing in the next stop. No cable here!!

Thank you all for your help. We are at a KOA park in Maryland and I can get all the cable channels All these years and I never thought a change was possible. Well!! one is never to old to learn!! Thanks
If they are like our cable here at home then there channels may have gone digital. If we don't have the digital box here then all we get is up through 21.
