How To Hook Up Cable on 17 Palazzo

We cannot figure out how to connect a cable line at RV site to our Palazzo without adding a cable box in the entertainment cabinet in the RV to the cable outlet in that cabinet. Other on the Forum have given me differing guidance on whats up but still no clear answer on how to gt cable to work on all three TVs.

Do I need a cable box?
Do I need to connect something to the cable outlet in the entertainment cabinet?
How do I connect to cable channels in the RV when connect to RV site cable?

Thanks,
Rick

That depends: Is the incoming cable signal encrypted? If so then you'll need a cable box for each TV. If it isn't encrypted then the answer is a little more complicated:
Some RV TV's don't include the QAM decoder required for non-encrypted cable signals--if your TVs doesn't have the decoder then you'll need a cable box.
If your TVs does have a QAM decoder then you may not need a cable box.

Problem is: The easiest way to determine if your TVs have a QAM decoder or not is to simply hook it up to cable and try (the owner's manual for the TV may show if one is present or not in the specs...).

I assume you are able to get signal from your antenna on all 3tv’s? If so then you should be wired via coax cabling to all 3 TVs, once you connect the cable outside at the pole to your Palazzo then you need to make sure the antenna booster is turned off in the entertainment area. If the booster is on you won’t get cable.
Then you obviously have to run the channel scan on each TV set to “cable”. Most of the times, if the park you’re staying at requires a box to get the cable signal they’ll let you know or rent you one.

Good luck

The cable connection is in the department with the sewer and water hook up, in the top left.
