Have you tried it on antenna? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdw12345 Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 As posted last Wednesday on the first page, that is also part of the problem as well. I can’t get OTA television, put a new King Air antenna on and nothing is coming through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 If your audio comes through the surround sound speakers and does not change when the TV changes, I'd think there may be some interesting wiring happening. Can you take pics of the TV, stereo receiver that provides the sound and the BOMB box? It's almost as if the cable hits a splitter of sorts that sends audio to the stereo and video to the TV. What, if any, wiring changes have you made since you bought it? Where are you located? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan K Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 There would have to be a second tv tuner somewhere, like an old tape player or picture-in-picture situation if it in fact is a TV sound that you are hearing from a different TV channel. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdw12345 Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 I’m in Minnesota. I’ll try and get some pictures tomorrow, as mentioned a bit earlier in the thread, my FIL passed away a week ago so we’re still working through his passing. Thanks for your help! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Sorry to hear that. MN is a little far from me (Alabama). If you come down here sometime, maybe we can figure something out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Pumphrey Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 I agree with Ivan, it would have to be a 2nd tuner. As for not getting anything from the king jack, I believe it needs power for it's internal amp, usually provided by the switch plate/ splitter. Possibly a broken center conductor it the coax on the roof. This cable tester would confirm that, as well as sort out which cable goes where. Very handy to have.

Guest Ray Davis Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 If I understand correctly this is happening on cable we don't know if it will happen on antenna yet Has it happened before on other cable systems? Its an interesting issue to try to sort out. Can you tell us what tv you have? Is it the old original glass crt tv or has it been up graded to flat screen? Do you have to set the tv to channel 3 or 4 to get cable? There may be a station in the area on that same channel. Personally I would get the antenna situation sorted out first then move to the cable. If you know for sure which coax goes to the tv and which one goes to the antenna make sure those are connected. You can look around the campground to see which direction others are pointing their antennas or there are sites that will show where the towers are located. Here is one, there are others too. https://tvstationsnearme.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdw12345 Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Sorry for the long delay, working through my FIL’s death and estate, Xmas, then a 16 year old pet that had to be put down it’s been a interesting couple of months to say the least! So this is what I have in the coach currently, I believe it’s all original equipment from Monaco. Pictures below. I have confirmed that I can play a dvd in the vcr/dvd player and it plays on the tv and the sound system in the main living area. Once again thank you for all of your help and I appreciate all of your input and ideas, we are now in a location that has cable tv some I’m checking into hooking up to that, hopefully tagging my issues onto Dr4Film’s thread is ok with him! Much appreciated! Regards Jeff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdw12345 Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Update! Well I purchased a converter box that converts digital signal to analog televisions and it works, simple fix for my problem. Hopefully this will help someone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Pumphrey Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Digital to analog converter? You mean like back when DTV came out, we had a converter box to hook up a TV that had the old analog tuner? I didn't think many of those TV's still existed. Got a link to the converter?

Dave Pumphrey Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Why would you need an external tuner? I have a tablo OTA DVR connected to an antenna in the attic at the house, & connected to my cable modem. I can access my local channels & recordings on a firestick anywhere I have an internet connection, even have an app on phone. It has a nice guide to set recordings just like a cable service.

Jdw12345 Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 I wish I could tell you Dave, I’m assuming if I understood this kinda stuff I wouldn’t be having problems sorting it out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
