No reception. Cable nor antenna

Just hooked up to the new campsite with cable availability woo hoo. But cable will not find any channels. So I put up the antenna turned on the booster. TV will not find any analog nor digital antenna channels. It worked find a month ago. Any ideas?

If your antenna booster is ON...the cable will not work. If it's OFF...the regular TV won't work.

1. Make sure that the coax is plugged into cable, and not satellite, on the outside of the Airstream.

2. Make sure the green light is off on the coax panel on the wall next to the television.

3. Make sure that the television is set to cable before you scan for channels.

Thanks everyone. I did what I was supposed to do as you all posted above. I tried to delete this post after I changed out the cable from wall to tv. That fixed it or maybe it just took five tries for the tv to finally recognize the cable.

No need to delete your thread. All of this is information that we can use.

Also on most of the recent TV's when you scan for cable there are a couple of choices for the type of cable signal (seem to remember on mine that there are three). You might need to do the scan on each of them.
