I have a 2018 Thor Quantum PD 31 on order. Sure hope it has the newer SEIKI TV's that have both QAM and ATSC tuners. And, he King OTA antenna.

Any problem connecting an Apple TV to any of the SEIKI TV's?

Agreed. Our Seiki's work just fine. No problems noted so far. Using a firestick and a chromecast and a Mohu over the air HD. However, now that I have mentioned that...... .fingers crossed.

Question, if you mount the sound bar under the dinette cabinets, how will you wire to the tv, or are you using a bluetooth transmitter on the tv.

We went from the 32 inch to a 40 Sceptre TV this one puts out 15 watts at the speakers. while the Seiki puts out 5 watts. Big improvement now we can hear out TV

I'm glad to hear that. Haven't taken our new '17 Challenger out yet (next week is our inaugural run!) and was getting concerned reading this thread.

My 2026 Miramar's outside tv puked in 1 month. I'm in contact with thor to replace it . I'm full time and traveling with no dealer in sight so they are going to send some money and let me buy what I want. I don't know how much they are going to allow.

Just be very careful with the HDM I cable hook up, you may want to consider buying a 90° HDM I plug so you don't break the cable prongs as the Samsung TV has its plugs in the back of the set

90 degree HDMI

That is a Great point. I had to use a 90 and I also added a 9 inch HDMI extension for the other one for easy future plug ins,

Not something I thought I would have to

the move if we are going to travel all
over the country with this rig. I really can't
believe that Thor put these cheap TV's
in their Motorhome's
How can I watch my streaming laptop shows (Hulu and Netflix) on my new Seiki TVs?

On the Seiki's get an Apple TV or a Roku.

If you have a laptop, does it have an HDMI output? If so plug it into the TVs and use that.

Yes... The satellite receiver decodes the signal - so a QAM tuner (what some seiki's are lacking) isn't needed...

When you go with Dish or DirectTV, they supply their own box. The output of that box is HDMI. So it doesn't matter what kind of tuner you have in your TV. If it has HDMI in, as all the TVs do these days, It will work

We have had no issues with our Seiki tv's and we use a Trav'ller dish and direct TV. I have two receiver boxes. One stay's in RV the other is from my house. Living room, dining room and out side tv work off main receiver (stay's in RV) and the bedroom receiver is from the house. We can watch two different shows and tape another one with our set up. Are the TV great, no but they get the job done.

I could not get a signal through my exterior cable TV port with either cable or satellite hooked up. I finally found I had a bad coax from the exterior port to the amplifier wall plate. Once I got the coax fixed and the OTA amp bypassed, satellite worked great hooked up to the exterior cable port. I was still doubtful if my cable would work since I have a Seiki TV. Well, today we stopped at a park with cable. I hooked the cable up, turned the amp off, selected cable on my Sat/cable switch and the cable worked fine. RV park said they have 51 channels, that's what I have.
