The 4081 we just purchased has two TVs in the salon, one on the lift behind the couch and one mounted forward. When I scan for over the air tv channels after first letting the Winegard antenna do its scan for best signal, one TV gets fewer channels stored than the other. I am wondering how, if they are connected to the same antenna, how do the two TVs not see the same signals. I am wondering if I have a cable issue but some channels do work just fine and if there was a bad connection in the coax I would not expect to see any signal. Has anyone else seen this? I am still trying to decide whether or not to connect the satellite system to DTV. We can stream so easily so far. When we start venturing out to the north coast I imagine wifi and cell service will be spottier and as such we may want to use the DTV.
 
Could be a loose cable connection or crimped coax cable to the affected TV. I honestly have never had much luck with my over the air system in my Newmar and just stream now.

Make sure both TV's are set up (TV remote) the same way. Menu,settings,cable,all etc.
