I have a Camec TV running on 12v. Recently I had an issue on getting good reception. The Problem seemed to be around the quality of the coax which I replaced, 2 specific LED lights that disrupted reception when switched on and generally being in a poor reception area.
I'm now in a good reception area and the TV tunes in okay. Unfortunately when I place the TV in standby mode and then switch it on again it loses all the DTV channels. Strangely the radio channels are still there.
I had this issue with a previous camec TV and they were very good and sent me a replacement set. Unfortunately this is now happening to my new TV.
Aerial is a Winegard Sensar with the power booster switch
The TV is a camec 24" LED TV
Caravan is Coromal Element 552
I'm running the TV on 12v but I do have 240v power attached.
I can retune every time I switch on the TV but it is very frustrating
Thanks in advance, Steve

Hi Steve; With a television not remembering the channels that are stored into your television sounds like the set is faulty and i would contact the manufacturer again and see if they are willing to point you in the right direction for repair or they may offer you another replacement. This type of thing used to happen with some of the early color televisions when the memory battery would fail ( rechargeable ). But with the new sets everything ( including the channels stored ) is stored in a "flash memory".
Sometimes it is easier to replace the set with a different model ( up grade ) or a different make.
On a side note, are you storing the channels in the correct manor, some sets can be a real pain to programme.
G'day Steve,
Not going to bore it up you - just saying "Welcome!"
There is a stack of info in the sections of the forum that have all sorts of subjects. Some might brighten up a dull day.
Become familiar with the Search button, the Advanced Search. Often it's better to do your own research initially rather than "re-inventing the wheel."
You case here is similar to one I had about three years ago (other members saved me some dollars with an issue with Dometic). As this is a replacement set, I wouldn't waste any time in contacting Camec.
Ask them if they'd like you to visit one of their service agents/dealers close to you if possible.
Valiant has suggested looking at other brands - fine (& look for specials from crowds such as Road Tech Marine, etc). However, I assume the current tv is covered by a warranty - keep on their backs until you get satisfaction, frustrating, I know but if they are continuing to import stuff that doesn't meet expectations, they NEED TO KNOW & DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!

I have to say when I phoned Camec last time with the same fault on my previous TV, they immediately arranged a replacement. In fact they gave me a bigger TV as the one I had was no longer available.
