Switching TV from Air to Cable

[Newf026]

We have a 2020 Miramar coach and when I simply plug the cable TV from a campsite into it nothing really happens as far as getting more channels.

I do switch the TV from air to cable and I also do the channel scan.

I haven't read all of the manual yet. But does anyone now of a "switch" that changes the input into the coach from air to cable?

Thanks!

yes, it's generally either a wall plate that a button is PRESSED off, when Cable is what you want - it is only pressed ON, when you want over-the-air antenna channels, since they require a 12v boost.

if you don't have a wall plate, but rather a 'box of many buttons', then it also needs to be OFF when you want Cable, and each TV section needs to be switched to CABLE input.

Not the same coach (I have a Tuscany) but the pic should gives you some idea of what to look for. The button is on the right.

I had a 2016Miramar and it was the same as the pic above. I had to use a flashlight to find it.

Hmm...Found that I have a small "HMDI" box that links like it has LED's for many outputs and 1 LED for Input 1 and one LED for Input 2. There is a button that switches the LED light on and off for each of the 2 inputs.

Seems like I should test using each input? Going to test now.

I have a camper that has this easily 'hidden' push button for the antenna booster...which is commonly missed by most first-time owners...

I have a diesel pusher motorhome which has the 'box of many buttons' 'entertainment' switchbox cluster. It has a power ON/OFF push button on the left, only used for when you want the OTA antenna. It also has a set of push buttons for each TV - cable, antenna, dvd, sat, etc. These all have to be set to what each TV wants to view. One TV can be watching a DVD, another the OTA local channels, another CABLE from the campground, etc. all at the same time.

Wasn't that HMDI box.

I found the switch.

Thanks All!
