yep, Donna and I stock up on the Walmart Cheapie DVD, Andy Griffith show, two and a half men. our Daughter got a Earth series, we have old westerns, some 3 stooges, most of the time its late and dark and we dont make it more than an hour and its lights out. there is something about the fresh air, walking trails, cooking outside, the fire flickering that makes us sleep well.]]> Fri, 24 Aug 2012 21:24:12 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2862&PID=27074#27074 Antenna 2013 : we have found that DVDs are a... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2862&PID=27073#27073 Author: turncoat3

we have found that DVDs are a great substitute for TV stations that you cannot receive.  Stock up on some of the classics and enjoy them again.

I agree, the digital system is ironically not as good as the old analog system.  For starters many stations went to lower power transmitters when they switched.  Also many moved from the VHF (2-13) to UHF channels which don't propagate (bounce) as well.  Finally, the dealer was right and where you could have watched a weak signal with "snow" with analog, digital just errors out and shows nothing.  A good antenna with good placement is critical for homes now and is very hit-or-miss with RVs.]]> Fri, 24 Aug 2012 09:04:05 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2862&PID=27067#27067 Antenna 2013 : Thank you, we have heard that... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2862&PID=27065#27065 Author: curieuse

Thank you, we have heard that also from the dealer, so I guess we will follow your advice.]]> Fri, 24 Aug 2012 08:55:06 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2862&PID=27065#27065 Antenna 2013 : There's plenty of times... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2862&PID=27064#27064 Author: kymooses

There's plenty of times that we get 0 channels from the silly booster thing when we're camping.  I've been in campgrounds where my neighbor says they are picking up a few of the local channels and then we get nothing.
 
Not to say that it doesn't work because we've been places where we can pick up several channels and can get the news and weather which makes us happy.
 
I'd just never plan on or ever hope to pick up anything regularly.  It's hit or miss at best.

Thanks all,
we did the scans but no stations were coming in, our dealer said we did the cable scan instead of the antenna scan but we tried both.....and then also said that the new digital technology is tricky if channels are not strong enough nothing comes in.

That's a good point with the channel scan I forgot to bring up, every time we go to a new location we have to do a channel scan]]> Thu, 23 Aug 2012 21:12:01 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2862&PID=27058#27058 Antenna 2013 : Did you rescan for the channels?... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2862&PID=27054#27054 Author: techntrek

Did you rescan for the channels?  There should be a menu option for it.]]> Thu, 23 Aug 2012 20:54:38 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2862&PID=27054#27054 Antenna 2013 : Thanks Keith, we did push the... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2862&PID=27053#27053 Author: curieuse

Where your cable line goes from the wall to the tv, there should be a little black push button, make sure it's pushed in ( little green light should come one beside the button) that will turn on the signal booster, that should solve her

Our new 2013 R-pod has a standard fixed antenna instead of  the previous round one. On our first trip we could nor receive any TV stations and were not in a very remote area. Any experience with this type of antenna?  ]]> Thu, 23 Aug 2012 20:14:58 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2862&PID=27050#27050
