The first question folks are going to ask is, did you turn the power button off. The power button is a small push type switch located on the main coax connection. That has to be off to receive any cable channels.

Lots of discussion abt this topic on the Forum...

All of the Seiki's Thor installed did not include a QAM tuner
QAM tuner decodes cable TV channels

Your option is to purchase an aftermarket QAM tuner.
Unfortunately it’s probably easier and more cost effective to purchase a new TV

“The majority of the following manufacturers televisions come equipped with a QAM tuner: Sharp, Sony, Polaroid, Toshiba, Emerson, Hitachi, LG, Samsung, Visio, Insignia and TCL. The following are known to produce televisions that do not come equipped with a QAM tuner: Seiki, Element, Sceptre, HiSense, Proscan, RCA. Aug 7, 2018”

I've got LG TVs in my RV, and they work crazy good!
For what the TVs cost today: I agree with taylorbob1: it's easier to just replace the TVs, and use the "Suckees" as doorstops...

when you replaced the "suckees" did you have to replace the mounts, the 40 in suckee has 200 x 200 mm spacing and I can find good tv with that mounting spacing, however the other 2 32" suckees have 200 x 100 mm spacing, cant seem to find good tv with that spacing.
thanks
