tv wiring diagrams

Hi,
Do you have a copy of TV wiring diagrams for 2401R? Still have problem with cable TV. I'm going to try to find solution when the weather warm up a little. So far since new I have been watching Netflix as long as camp ground has WiFi.

Thanks

Have you been turning of the antenna booster when you are hooked to cable? Have you done a channel scan with TV set to cable?
Does your TV work when antenna is raised?

Just a few questions that need to be answered before going into the wiring.

Where the 12v cord plugs into there is a small button that needs to be pushed down so green light illuminates. That will allow the King Jack Antenna to link to the TV.

Yes Joshua with antenna and push button inside cabinet, TV works fine on few channels as antenna picked up. When cable plugged in from camp site and antenna turned off, it shows no signal on TV. As much as I can see and make sure all coaxial connection are all connected right.

Make sure you are connected to the Cable input and not to the Satellite input.
Have you tried to select the Cable in the tv menu?

I'm not sure which one is which? It has one cable connector on each side of the coach, but I always use the one on the side of shore power, fresh water, sewer outlet etc... Come to think of it I've never tried connect to one behind MB main door. I will it next time.

Thanks

Repeat question: have you switched to cable input on the TV setup menu?

Thanks MNtraveler, just to show how little I know about RV. I got so used to home TV and this is my first RV ever. You are so right, change to cable in setup and scan for for channels. Voila

Thanks
