I do have an ohm meter, but it was at home...lol. I actually have two, an older, digital Craftsman and a freebie Harbor Freight job. I will check the cable w/ the meter when I head up to the RV again. We were running tight on time so I could do much in the way of diagnostics (pulling plate covers off and checking for connections). On top of it, we still had about 10" of snow on the ground and I had sneakers on, so
I did not check behind the exterior cable connection. When we first hooked the cable up at the seasonal site, I had to use the "cable" connection on the panel on the exterior of the RV and use the "satelitte" connection on the wall plate behind the TV. My guess is that the cable wiring is messed up. Like I said before, we were tight on time. I figured there was a wealth of knowledge on here and hopefully someone figured this problem out before me. Thank you for your help.
