I Cannot Get VHF On Tab 320s Jensen
Passport
Member Posts: 112
I bought a TV antenna from Amazon a few years back, bought the 2022 Boondock and U-bolted a 5 ft piece of electrical conduit to the rear rack. To this I afixed the antenna. Wired it up according to instructions and can get nearly every UHF channel around.
But I can't get VHF. I connected the TV cable to the Aux inlet and nada, Sat nada and finally cable and that's how I obtained the UHF channels. (Within the Nautilus box)
Surely they installed a digital TV in the 320, it's been years since digital came out. I went into set-up on the Jensen and there isn't any hint of addressing either VHF or UHF.
Any suggestions?

I've never seen an ATSC TV that made the distinction between VHF and UHF for antenna reception. Modern receiving circuits can be tuned over a wide range unlike way, way, way back when TVs contained separate VHF and UHF circuits.
Setting the TV to "Antenna" should be sufficient. Be wary of smallish antennas that often have bad reception in the VHF band. Digital television was supposed to transition out of the VHF frequencies (and in many areas is) so there's not a lot of effort to make antennas work well for VHF. -
I'll mess with again tomorrow, I've looked at the manual and it doesn't address UHF or VHF channels, it has to be something simple. I always seem to go for the most difficult and then find out its a loose wire or something similar. Thanks Grumpy!

Well, I messed with the Pingdingding antenna again, did a channel scan and behold! All works so all is well.

"Cable" is the only connector in the outside compartment that's connected to the back of the TV on the T@Bs. There is only one cable run from there to the back of the TV. Look at the back under the bench.
