335DS TV question

We have 3 tvs on our 335Ds; Furrion outside and in living area. Seiki in the bedroom. When I am on antenna I can program all 3 for channels. However, when we connect to cable only Furrion tvs can function. The Seiki can only program on analog and will not accept digital cable channels.
I contacted FR and they said to file a warranty claim with dealer to get replaced. Dealer did not agree with FR and basically didn't believe what I said. Anyone else have this issue with that crappy Seiki tv? Also, it is nearly impossible to access the bracket to even remove that tv.

The SEIKI TV does not have a QAM tuner - only ATSC tuner. It needs the QAM tuner also to receive cable. (I had 4 of the SEIKI TVs in my MH.)

We have 351DS, similar problems I replaced the switch box. This may not fix yours but all of our TVs work now. If this is the one you have, ours was cracked on the inside.

I removed the Seiki TV from my 2015 GT 328TS and replaced it with a Vizio that can program cable channels. The Seiki was screwed into the wall from the rear (go through the access panel in the closet to unmount the Seiki). Once I had the Seiki down, I mounted a $35 Wall Mount hardware I bought off Amazon and mounted the Vizio TV the proper way! Forest River mounts those bedroom Seiki TV's with three wood screws instead of using a mounting wall bracket. Cheap hack job if you ask me!

Sure glad we have a unit that came with matched Toshiba sets, never had a problem and can't identify with what you guys are going through. Glad we don't have your problems.
Safe Travels.
