using available connections. Those connections may vary by Set Top Box and by TV. A coax connection
to the TV’s antenna input is typically available. Consult your TV manual for instructions on how to
connect a Set Top Box to the TV.
Heartland provides several types of connections (COAX, AVI – R/W/Y, and HDMI) in the living room
entertainment center to enable 3
rd
party devices to be patched into the TV without removing the TV
from the wall. These connectors are pre-wired to the back of the TV. You can probably use one of them
to connect the Set Top Box to the TV.
Watching Over-the-Air Antenna TV
The over-the-air antenna is located on the roof, toward the front of the coach. Directly under the
antenna is a crank handle and rotation ring used to rotate the antenna for the best possible reception.
Digital TV signals require good alignment of the antenna to the TV broadcast tower to get a clear
picture. On digital TVs, if the signal is poor, you’ll see pixilation and the picture may freeze momentarily.
Operating the antenna pointer
The antenna must be raised in order to effectively capture TV signals and in order to align it. Rotate the
crank handle until the antenna is fully extended.
Grasp the outer ring of the pointer and pull it down slightly to disengage the outer ring from the inner
ring, allowing it to be turned in either direction. Note that there is a pointer on the outer ring that
indicates the direction the antenna is pointing. There’s also a matching pointer on the inner ring.
When packing up to leave the campsite, be sure to rotate the outer ring until the pointers are aligned.
Then rotate the crank handle to fully retract the antenna into a folded position on the roof.
TV Menu Settings
Most TVs made over the past few years have a menu setting to select between watching over-the-air
antenna signals and watching cable TV. Consult your TV manual for information on how to make this
selection and how to do a channel scan. Running a channel scan will allow the TV to identify all of the
active channels so that you don’t have to directly enter a channel number when changing channels.
A few newer TVs may automatically detect the type of signal source and switch automatically. Consult
your TV manual for details.
CAUTION: If you forget to retract the antenna into its folded position, once you begin towing, the
antenna will very likely be damaged. Some owners hang a visible reminder tag to the crank
handle to help them remember.
