TV Antenna cable connection

[Blue Agave]

I bought a 1990 420 Sundancer. There are two TV,s on board. I get no signals. I want to attach an antenna but cannot find any input connection . Are they hidden somewhere?

Are they the original annalog Tv's?

The one in the forward salon is orginal. The other has been replaced with a flat screen.

Is there a connection where you plug in your shore power?

 

[Blue Agave]

No connection by the shore power.

Would check to ensure TVs have digital tuner(s) first. While you may have a flat screen, not all older flt screens had a digital tuner. If no digital tuner, all you need to do is buy converter boxes to go from analog to digital.

Are your tvs hooked into a Glomex tv antenna? there should be a coaxial connection in your tv bay? I know on my boat there are two ways to connect the system to shore cable tv...one in the aft transom hatch starboard near the wash down hose this is for tv and phone and one in the cabinet under the wet bar . There should be some sort of antenna hook up on the boat or even the original tvs would have never gotten signal ...i have followed my coaxial cables, you can see junctions in the fuse box near the helm ..in the access panel in the radar arch and scattered throughout the boat where wiring is ...maybe try looking to see if you can find coaxial cable anywhere and see if you can run some to the tv bays, without an antenna you will not get signal...do you have a glomex antenna on the radar arch? If so follow the cable from there... the way it goes on mine is down into the radar arch then to a junction in the fuse area near the helm where it splits off and runs to each room on the boat including an adjustable control panel in the cabinet above my sofa.
