TV signal

I know some campgrounds are more updated than others. Of all the TV In my Georgetown 351 my bedroom TV works at some campgrounds but not at others. From what I can understand the bedroom TV, a Seiki is older without some kind of programming inside. Can I replace that with a samsung or whatever I can get at Best Buy and swap it out? Is there an RV specific TV setup ??

There’s no such thing as an RV specific TV.
Any brand and whatever size fits.
I upsized from an older Toshiba 32” with a big frame to a Visio 39” with next to no frame to fit the same area.
Much better and bigger.

Remember.....you have to run the scan for channels program every time you move your Georgetown.....cable or over-the-air (OTA)

Every flat panel tv has a channel scan option in the setup menu which you need to run whenever you are in an different coverage area.

I know about running a channel scan. But like I said some parks I would get no channels on just the one TV while every other TV works fine. So I bought a 32" samsung on sale for $125 and installing it now. See what happens. Heading to Normandy Farms campground on Monday 6/8

There are slightly better tuners in various TV units. I get variations from time to time between 3 different brands.
