Fuzzy TV!

Out on our first trip of the season, the campground has cable. Both my living and bedroom TV's scan and find all the channels, the sound is good but the picture is unwatchable because it's too snowy! Luckily we can get some over the air channels and they work fine! And yes, I have the booster off when in cable mode. Any suggestions on what's causing the bad picture in cable mode? I've also checked all the connections that I can find and made sure they were tight.

Run a cable from the post to the tv, that should tell you if it is their's or in your trailer.

Thank you Dwilcox and jjSpeedwagon! I ran the cable directly to the tv and works great, now I guess the fun part is finding the bad connector or cable in the trailer!

Just a quick comment make sure your antenna booster is not on. The tv will scan ok but picture is terrible. Been there done that.

This is what I'm thinking the problem is.
