Delta 252RL TV Antenna

[rvdude]

Hello everybody? Just wondering how the TV antenna on the Delta trailers is working for everybody. Mine pulls in some channels but not all channels in the area. And out of what it does pull in at least half of them are pixelated most of the time.

We have the same antenna on our 262 and it works fine...in our area (50+ channels), at our elevation, trees, hills, etc, way too many variables. As RF engineers like to say, antenna reception is more an art than science.

I see that you are recent to the group, so I will ask if you have assured that you have turned on the amplifier required to maximize your OTA signals. The "Tiling", or pixelation, is typically indicative of a weak signal.

Thanks for the replies. Yes I do have the booster on.

The issue with most RV over the air antennas is the wiring or cabling not so much the antenna. The wiring is notoriously loose or not run properly.
The antenna itself is usually high up enough to work well.
However operator And cabling issues often cause conflicts.
While I personally no longer use cable and rely on my T mobile router to provide Streaming and Youtube TV options.
There are more over the air stations than ever. So if you do choose to go the over the air route, I have found that often there are lots of stations.
However over the air requires the scanning and set procedures that can be aggravating at and simply one more thing to do when setting up the camper.
If you are having problems with your original initial setup the best thing to do is to run the cable directly from the antenna to the TV without any other adapters or RV cabling involved just to determine if the antenna is pulling in stations.
From there you can dig into the actual wiring of the trailer to see where the issue lies.

I did put my spare Roku stick on the ridiculous Samsung TV with the LG channels in it. I do watch that mostly but sometimes want to see something that is on OTA channels. I do have an indoor TV antenna that works pretty good.

While I camp frequently I generally take short trips of only a few days. It's just not worth the effort for me to scan the channels when I can get my Internet TV to work instantly without going through the scanning business. Scanning is the part that I don't want to deal with to use or cable or OTA TV.
