   I am reading what you wrote but it sounds like you did not plug it into the Satelite connection at the trailer, please try that because that is the only way that we receive cable from the campgrounds.   Goose
   I know how disappointed you are because we had the same issue when we first got our trailer and I did not want to pack up to go find a dealer to repair it. After sleeping on the problem all night I tried hooking to the Sat. connection and made sure the the line to the television was hooked from the tv to the Cable/Sat stud in the cabinet. We had not had any issues since.  Good luck.

Inside the trailer, possibly behind your television, should be a panel that looks like this:



You need to be hooked up to the one for "sat/aux"... If you are, try hooking up to the other, they could be wrong on the back of the interface. But whichever gives you TV from the antenna, the other is hooked up to the outside feed.

EDIT: also, and I think this is what Goose is pointing out, (and I thought I had a picture.. but can't find one).. even though there are TWO connections on the outside of the pod, only ONE of them is actually hooked up. Try switching out there also.

Thanks furpod for the picture, that's worth a thousand words. In our case only the Sat. connection on the outside of the trailer is the only one that works.   Goose

Make sure that the cable is connected to the TV.  Ours came loose once while traveling.

Yes thank you as we got it to work. We on the inside connected to the tv stud and you MUST have the Red Light turned Off so it will program correctly when you auto tune for the cable that's piped in if that's the case. If not the Red Light must be on to tune it if you are Not hooking up to any external cable connections.

Glad that you got it to work. Now it's time to destress and relax.   Goose
