A 2-hour movie will chew up nearly 5 GB of data.

Is the rv park sending an analog or digital signal?

We upgraded to higher grade coax cable for the campground connection and it made a world of difference for us.

I have tried both outside-of-the RV inputs, and all output connections inside the RV, to no avail.

I have selected every possible iteration of scanning on the Jensen TV, again, with no success.

One more thing I tried this past week at two RV Camps, I brought the campground hookup coax directly through the door and hooked it up to the input on the TV, same result.

Our OTA antenna pulls in clear channels, as does our Tailgater with Dish, although I prefer not to mess with all the nonsense that is encountered every time I activate the Dish system.

Anyone encounter this phenonmena? If so, any solutions? Could it be the Jensen TV?

Thanks

It's like hotels 50 people pulling off one source how good is the internet you could use a streaming device , you've got a proper dish just set that up and be done with it , you get good at setting up a dish with practice

We have a 2006 Forest River Lexington. This problem was solved for us by pressing the button that is in the cabinet to the left of the TV. Yours may be located in a different place....but look for it. When you press the right button, a little light will come in. If you can't find it, trace the cable wire from the TV to where it goes in the wall. Good luck.

That probably the signal booster you're talking about for over the air channels Dont think it boosts cable signals

On mi W bego had a Zjensen YV. The tuner sucked. Changed out TV for a Sony and 100% improvement. You get what you pay for.

Bought a new 2017 Mirada a few years ago and traded in the Winnie. The Mirada came with 3 Seca TV’s they were absolute junk. Could not pull in hardly any Chanel’s. Again changed them out for Sony’s and now have plenty of channels and beautiful picture. The Seca’s cost less than 100. each and the Sony’s are 299. Like I said in my previous post. You get what you pay for. They put the absolute cheapest stuff they can find in these new RV’s. Also had a problem with dash radio and speakers. Did not want to go back to dealer. They are cheats. I looked up the radio online and they cost a whopping 29. and my
Factory installed speakers were 2 for 29and I had 6. I put in Sony radio and new speakers and it sounds great. I don’t remember the speaker name but replaced the cheap factory speakers with fairly expensive ones and the new Sony radio. Spent about 900. Like I said before you get what you pay for. My coachman is not the only example. I have friends with Winnie and Baystar and the story is about the same, We have all upgraded thes and other items.

I’m have a 2017 3011DS and was having same problem

You must turn off the antenna booster and your cable reception will be good I have talked to other class c owners with different models on campgrounds and that has also solved their issue

We certainly enjoy our 3011DS
