For some reason my TV refuses to pick up the cable at the park I'm in. It's good signal at the post because it was checked. Not sure if it's my cable I use to hook up to it yet. Yes, the antenna booster is off. Just frustrating minor glitches that have to be too easy to fix but.....Oh well, off to the store tomorrow.

Ken if it is good at the post I would try a different cable to your rig. If that doesn't work try bypassing your rigs wires by going directly to the tv.

Make sure your TV input is set to 'cable' rather than 'air'.

If the campground has digital cable, your TV must have a QAM tuner.

There are three thigns
First is the TV set to CABLE or ANTENNA
second is the TV old enough to not undstandard Digital Cable
Third is the Cable signal "Encrypted'
Oh and 4: Element tv's... don't do digital cable at all. (only broadcast)
Last TV made in the USA and it only did NTSC and ATSC (Analog and digital brodcast) No QAM (Dicital cable).
Also if you are feeding the Park cable inlet on your RV.
1: TURN THE ANTENNA OFF (the wall plate with the switch, light, antenna connector and 12 volt outlet.. TURN IT OFF)
2nd: if someone re-wired for Sat TV you need to restore Factory config.
Home was where I park it. but alas the.
2005 Damon Intruder 377 Alas declared a total loss
after a semi "nicked" it. Still have the radios

He said he did that in his first post...
Other than checking the TV input settings and such, get a cable long enough to go from the post to the tv and plug it in directly. Then see what happens.
That will eliminate the RV's cabling setup and then you can go from there.
Good luck! Mitch

And as I said ELEMENT TV's won't pick up Cable TV.
Also.... Some cable systems are encrypted. no STB (Set Top Box) NO TV
The one I'm watching now is that way.
