    TV Antenna?

    What are y'all using for a TV antenna? The one that came on the camper doesn't seem to work very good. Wondered if I could buy a home roof top or attic antenna and plug it into my cable tv hook up on the side? Any recommendations? Thanks

    Can I hook the antenna up in my cable hookup? Would that bring the signal in the camper?

    Is your antenna designed to receive digital signals? If not you may have buy a new antenna. I have owned 2 Jaycos and both had bad antenna signal boosters. If it is bad and you are trying to use cable then it will give poor picture on the lower channels. I never tried to use the antenna. I had to move the jumper cable on the back of the booster circuit boards and eliminate the antenna circuit to get a clear cable pic. A quality digital antenna may not need a booster circuit. If you buy a house type antenna then you should be able to just hook up where the ground level cable hooks up.

    When we had cable some channels where always fuzzy. Guessing that's what we had going on. I plan to buy a new antenna and hook it up on the outside cable input. Hopefully I will get some channels!
