All TVs says no signal

I have a 2014 Georgetown 35 an I no longer have TV cable or over the air. Last time I used my RV a few months ago there were no issues. I am not sure what changed? I have checked connections to cable coming into RV. Checked all cables to TVs and vision box. Made sure booster was off when trying to program Cable TV. Made sure booster was on when trying to program air ways tv. All I get from TV is snow and no signal. Any thoughts?

Are you in an area that has no local reception over the air?
Check with your neighbors…

No. I am in Orlando and others have both over air and cable.

if your setup is like my GT there are only 3 common connections. 1. the output from the Movie Vision Box/2. The splitter that the box goes to/ 3. The TV's if all are doing the same. If only one TV is bad could be the splitter or TV. Perhaps.

The TV input is correct. Thanks. It is both TVs one in bedroom and other in living room. Will not auto tune keeps coming up no signal. Could the movie vision gone bad to not provide the signal?

Forgot about the two TVs in the bunks. They are not working either. No signal. Checked all connections I can visibly see are there others in walls or outside RV that could possibly come loose?

Every TV/Cable/Sat wall plate has connections behind it that could have come loose. It sounds like you probably have a spitter that splits the signal to all the TV's and the bad connection would be somewhere before the input to that splitter.

This is a Gt360 that also has bunks and perhaps your interconnects are similar.

It would appear in the GT360 diagram with the issue you have the only possible common interconnects are the Movie Vision Box output and the splitter that output is connected to.

Just a note. With the Movie Vision selector box installed it matters not if the over the air antenna booster panel is on or off for park cable viewing.

Moved thread from the On the Road/Travel Chat section's Eastern USA sub-forum to the Appliances and Electronics sub-forum since the OP's topic is about Electronics.

Time to start testing--Divide and conquer

Grab a 25' piece of cable and a barrel connector (connects two F-connector cables together).
  1. Sanity check: Connect from cable box directly to each TV, using the 25' cable and make sure each can receive the signal, using the new cable. Then restore the original connections.
  2. With park cable connected to the trailer, at the area of the antenna amplifier, disconnect the cable input and output cables and connect them together with the barrel connector. Test for cable signal at all three TVs. Restore the original connections.
  3. At the area of the antenna amplifier, disconnect the output and use the 25' cable to connect successively to each of the three TVs. Turn the amplifier on and test at each TV. Restore the original connections.
  4. Disconnect the Movie Vision box and bypass it, using the barrel connector. Test for signal at each TV. Then restore the original connections.
  5. Disconnect the splitter and use the barrel connector to first bypass the splitter to the first TV and test, and then bypass the splitter to the second TV and test. Then restore the original connections.
In the tests above, don't forget to run a cable scan or Over-The-Air scan at each TV during each test. Rotate the OTA antenna if necessary.

Let us know what works and what does not.

Several times over the years I’ve had no cable signal at an RV site, only to find that I had to extend my cable over to an adjacent site to get a signal.

I connected to the site next to me it didn’t work from there either. Been on the road moved to another site. I finally had time to check connections behind the movie vision box and there was the loose connection behind the panel coming up to the splitter. Thanks to all for their help and thoughts.

So you tightened the connection and everything works OK now?

Omnidirectional Antenna

Our 2015 is equipped with an omnidirectional antenna and for some reason the coax wire inside has broken. Probably because we hit a branch at one time or another and the head became loose and could spin around breaking the coax. We bought a table top antenna from Walmart and found all the TV's worked so now we are currently having a new antenna put on. $150 for the antenna plus labor.

No TV

Rescan your signals on your TV menu lists. If they are not scanned it they will show up as no signal.

Please see post #14 where the OP said he solved his problem.

I had the same problem and eventually found that the coax cables actually came loose from the back of the switch box
