  • TVs Don't Get Same Channels

    My TV in the bedroom of my Solitude does not ever pick up the same channels as the living room OTA channels. Does anyone have any ideas?

    I've moved your post to it's own thread.

    What year/model Solitude? Are the TVs OEM or different?

    Any and all info you can add will help. Also, consider filling out your signature line (so you don't have to repeat all that info the next time you have a question). https://gdrvowners.com/forum/gdrv4li...-to-your-posts

      I had that problem in our Thor. I traced it down to a factory floor installed connection where they connected them to make it long enough to reach.

          Try to trace out the coax to the bedroom. The connection that was bad on mine was under the dinette where they had plugged to cables together.

            So I'm trying to understand. You set up camp and turn on your antenna booster. You scan for available channels on both televisions. Both televisions are set up to "air", and not cable. Each TV identifies the available channels, but they are a different set of channels on each TV? Does that sum it up?

              Grand Design has a Cable Plan diagram that they can email to you upon request. They'll require your VIN to send it to you. The diagram will show you where the bedroom cable goes after it leaves your bedroom.

              A tool like the one at the following link can also be useful for tracing cables.

              Finally, when checking connections check not only that the connectors are screwed tightly onto their female fittings (finger tight plus 1/4 turn with a wrench) but also check that the connectors are firmly attached to the cable. Sometimes they are poorly crimped.

                Channel reception is determined by the receiver built in TV. I have the stock TCL TV in the living room and an Insignia TV in the bedroom and one can pick up channels the other can't.

                  Both TV are TCL and yes when you scan for channels OTA they come up with different channels.

                    I wonder if the one in the bedroom gets more channels?
                    If so would this have anything to do with the proximity to the booster?
