    Hooking up to cable

    Well, didn't expect to have this question, but..

    Hooked up for the first time to campground cable today. Works fine in the living room on the 351M, but nothing in the bedroom. What I wasn't expecting, there are !5! (five!) cable in lines! I was thinking there would be 1. Anyway, anyone have any idea as to how these things run. I would like to hook up one cable from the campground and have it on all my TVs, wondering if that means I need a 3-1 splitter (to hook up 3 of the inputs in the wet area to one cable line), or if I'm just missing something.

    The TV that works is in the living room, the bedroom and garage TVs don't see any stations.

    You post is hard to answer because we don't see in you post what type of RV you own.

    Most rv's do have a "cable" label for your cable tv. KEN

    On our Momentum there are five cable connections. Four of those connections are labeled for locations such as bedroom, garage, etc. There is one that is labeled cable only. This is the one you want to hook to if you’re at a campsite that offers cable TV service. The other connections are for use with satellite connection.

    I hope this helps.

    Hook up to the input labeled "cable" and you'll be fine.

    Don't forget to rescan TV's.

    And don't forget to turn off the OTA antenna amplifier. It has a relay in it that, when on, disconnects the cable input in favor of the OTA antenna.
