TV confusion with new 178

Thanks for the reply. Guess we'll play with it a while and see. Definitely not impressed with the antenna. The TV over bed received stations, just all fuzzy. The front tv  had nothing, that's why we thought maybe the cable from the back to the front might be backwards. Of course, the owners manual is for all forest river products, nothing for the pod so it is pretty much useless. It talks about cranking the antenna up when these do not have that. Would sure be nice to have a manual for a pod.

	Many CG's do in fact offer cable. Raccoon Hollar had about 65 channels I think.. For antenna, and cable, you stay hooked up to the same outlet. For satellite, you hook up to that connector and plug in the feed from your sat dish to that cable on the outside. (there have been known occurrences of the two feeds being backwards on the pod. You have to then tell your television to search for channels. Also, the antenna on the pod is a POS.. just so you know. omni-directional TV antennas all are. The front TV I am not sure about, as a 177 only has the one over the bed, but my guess is it works about the same.

	We just brought home our new 178 on Friday. We had a motorhome, and love the tidiness of the Pod. We are having problems figuring out the TVs. We have an in plug for cable and satellite on the outside (do some campgrounds offer cable? Not sure what to do with those!) Then of course we have the antenna on top. The small TV/DVD over the bed will show a station number, but no picture comes through. We plugged a 19" flatscreen into the front, whose only plugs say Satellite and Antenna. Won't pick up a thing, even with "power booster" button pushed. Anyone know anything? Could the 3 cables coming in be switched, or the antenna not really attached?
