Slaving the TV Signal ...

  Slogger, when you are at the campground and want to use the cable that they offer, hook the cable from the post to the POD and in the inside change the cable from the Audiovox TV to the SAT/AUX side.

Originally posted by Goose   The Aux/Satellite is only live if you connect the Cable or Sat to the outside inputs to feed the TV.  I thought that ours was not working the first time that we hooked up the Cable and figured out that I had to hook up the Cable into the one that said SAT. because the Cable side must not be hooked up some where inside the POD.  Hope that you can make sense of this.  Goose

============================================

So    ...if I understant correctly - - the Aux/Satellite jack is wired to the external jack on the skin of the POD. If that is true   ...and you are staying at a campground that offers cable at each campsite, I could hook my new 21" flat panel to that Aux jack (which should be a live feed from a cable box located somewhere in the campground) and it should work fine - - at least to the extent of the cable channel selections being offered at that particular campground.

On the other hand, the jack that is connected to the Audiovox TV/Radio/DVD player that came with the Pod is wired to the external antenna on the roof of the Pod - - so it's only as good as the signal (in air) reception will allow depending on where you are camping.

Only reason this is an issue for me (because we don't even watch that much TV when we're camping) is that in order to locate the new 21" flat panel TV out near the dinnette I would have to run power and coax - - and I'd rather not do that if it's not going to work.

Thanks for everyone's feedback    ...

There is an easier way to do this...get a 181 or 182G

That's essentially what I want to do - - attach an "external" (or slave) TV. Going to give it another try today. I read over the Audiovox booklet that came with the unit and supposedly the Red/Yellow/White RCA plugs on the back of the unit are "outputs". One possibility is that I didn't have the input mode set properly on the slave TV. If all else fails, I will probably look into getting a different Audiovox or similar cable receiver and split the incoming cable.

Thanks     ...MJ

The Audiovox tv RCA outputs only work to play the DVD player on an external tv.  I tried to set up a remote speaker system feed by the audio on the back and it will work only when in DVD mode.  Originally I thought that there was something wrong with my unit, but after asking a few folks on this forum I found that others had the same issue.  I also confirmed this with their customer service.  It is just how they designed it.  I thought once I might try to rewire it but later thought better.
