Twice we have stayed at campgrounds with Cable service.   It doesn’t seem to matter whether the Cable or Sat hookup we get nothing...

We had that problem at Ocean Lakes. I just used my Apple TV . I’m curious to hear what said. I was told it had something to do with the antenna switch box.

You have to turn off the antenna booster to watch cable TV.

Tried everything except the switch.  Does it matter which input the coax is connected to?

Thanks for the help.

Connect to the "cable"connection outside.
Turn OFF the antenna booster on the inside.
Turn on the TV, go into settings.
Select "cable" as your source.
Perform "channel search"
Enjoy.

Please Note:  Spectrum converted all of Ocean Lakes’ campsite cable to all digital on March 5, 2018. Our team has worked hard to assist Spectrum’s staff and our guests in this mandatory conversion. It has been a process and we apologize for the inconvenience and frustration it may cause. We continue to work with Spectrum on all issues.

Some Issues We Know About:
• Spectrum advised us that most TVs work. Tube televisions and flatscreen TVs manufactured prior to 2010 do not work.
• The Seiki brand TV rarely works with digital cable (QAM issue).
• Your camper TV must have a QAM tuner.
• The majority of Westinghouse TVs cannot be programmed.
• The splitter inside the camper may not be heavy duty enough and may need to be replaced. Ocean Lakes RV Center has found this rare issue.
