Cable TV is becoming a standard staple of most privately-owned campgrounds.  Simply connect the CG feed to the cable coax input on the trailer, make sure the antenna switch is not lit, and you should pull in all the cable stations on both TVs.  As furpod said, you do have to set your TVs to scan for the available stations.

W stayed at about 30 different campgrounds in May and early June.  About 90% offered free cable. You have to furnish enough cable to run from their outlet to the pod's input.  We carry 50' but usually 25 will suffice.

We were having reception issues also but after reading the info here I found the booster switch on the antenna connector panel in the cabinet. That was a great improvement but still not the best. I decided it hookup an indoor antenna and wala, we now have 16 clear stations.
This forum is the greatest.

No my TV is the dinky little combo unit with about a 10" screen. Make sure you antenna amplifier is on. I routinely pull in from 40 miles over flat terrain.

I only want enough to catch news for a bad weather report.
