Cable TV Half the channels

I have tried cable TV at several campgrounds and can only get 1/3 to 1/2 the posted channels. I have pushed the booster button so that is not the issue. Anyone have this issue also and how do you fix it?

Welcome to the forum Swip.
There are a couple of things that I can think of that may be relevant to your problem.
When you said that you pushed the booster button, you turned it off. Correct? It must be off for cable.
One other thing is that you must scan for cable channels on your TV.
Set the TV input to cable signal and do an auto channel scan.
Hope this helps some.

Peace
Dave

Dave,

Correct it s off. I have a Toshiba and the source I have is "Ant/Cable". I run the setup for channels and after it runs I get some channels not all.

Hi swip,

I think the antenna/cable setting requires a selection of either antenna or cable using left/right arrow keys. See the clipping from a Toshiba manual.
