Winnebago Vista LX - TV

Just got a 2017 Winnebago Vista LX. The TV can get digital channels via the antenna but not when connected to an RV Park's cable system. This has happened at 5 different RV parks and everyone else got digital channels on their TVs. We took it in to the dealer who, of course, could not find anything wrong. Help!!!!!

The TV input must also be changed from antenna to cable.

Not sure on the 2017 but our 2010 has an EXTREMELY small switch on one of the overhead 110 outlets. It's just a small push button.

You can't get over the air digital channels via the antenna and RV park's cable via the basement cable connector at the same time. It is one or the other based on if you have the antenna button on (LED lit) or off.

Many RV parks have older cable systems that do not send any digital channels only the low def analog version of them. If you set your TV to channel scan Cable and only get the broadcast TV stations as analog channels this is why it is happening.

You could switch back and forth but likely would have to re-scan channels on the TV, changing the channel scan back and forth from OTA TV to Cable. Truly a pain to do.
