Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

Cable TV Picture Quality
Permalink  

We have a Sylvania flat-screen HDTV in the living room and a Prima monster (big baby) HDTV in the bedroom.  Both came with the rig.  We are hooked up via cable provided at the park to what I believe is a satellite system...DISH or DirecTV, etc.

Any idea why the picture quality is sooooo much better in the bedroom?

I have checked the flat-screen connections and tightened them.  Checked the connection at the box and the cable receiver on the side of the 5er.

Reception on the living room TV is okay but a bit grainy while the bedroom is just about crystal clear.

Thanks!

I'm going to guess it is the connection point or cable. Can you swap the tv's to see if the poor screen follows the trouble. If so, then it's the TV although I doubt it. More than likely a bad splitter, connector or cable.

Check you don't have the amplifier for the batwing antenna turned on. But I agree, it sounds like a loose connection somewhere. Troubleshooting...can you run the cable from the CG pedestal directly to the front TV?
