I imagine the problem is that someone bought a few thousand of the cheapest TVs they could get, assuming they were equipped like practically every recently manufactured TV is. They didn't really know what they bought until they installed them and the complaints started coming in. What's really screwy is some of them have the QAM tuner and some don't (same model, different manufacture date).

I agree if you are sitting in your RV at home because you do not have a second TV in your home but when you are out in the RV, we are supposed to be enjoying nature, meeting other people and getting some adventure. The TVs installed do a very good job of receiving the over-the-air HDTV channels for news weather and sports. I was actually impressed with the quality of the picture comparing it to my 3-4 flat screens at home (one is only a year old Samsung). You can buy a cable box for $25 if you would like to have one. As it is, more people are "cutting the cord" from cable TV providers and going to streaming feeds (Netflix, Hulu, Amazon etc). I think it is more important nowadays to have a good strong Internet connection at the RV campgrounds.
