Biggest problem with using the converter we got as it only connects to one TV at a time through the HDMI port.
Because your stock Seiki TV HAS a digital (ATSC) tuner.
Analog TV was channels 2-13 (VHF) and 14-83 (UHF).
Digital channels have multiples assigned to the same channel number such as 9.1, 9.2, 9.3 or 6-1, 6-2, 6-3.

BUT, if you only use your coach in one area and you haven't done a channel scan recently you may have lost some/many/all of your previous channels due to recent FCC frequency realignments. Once upon a time the channel number correlated to a frequency for that channel - not any longer - the channel number is a virtual channel and the frequency can be any of the FCC allocated frequencies.

So maybe you used to get channel 24.1 on it's home frequency of 530 MHz in the UHF band. It may have been re-aligned to use the 210 MHz band but part of it's digital signal tells the receiver it is to be identified by the virtual channel number 24.1, not the channel normally assigned to the 210 MHz band.

Or, as i said before: maybe your tuner failed.
