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.

Thanks for response Now I have additional information on at least what coax connections you have on the outside and behind the LR TV. I highly recommend using the procedure I outlined before you go playing with that meter. This procedure will isolate your problem using a real signal vs a Dc continuity check using the ohm meter.

Given the additional data you supplied (RED) and assuming it was and is still hooked up that way when you made your initial comments I think your labeling is incorrect on the external coax connections and/or the LR TV or both.

OKAY lets assume its hooked up as described in red and wired correctly to booster.

CS cable connected to external coax labeled "CABLE" signal would be sent to booster switch and based on booster switch being on or off would send either a antenna signal or your CS cable signal out on TV1 and TV2. Lets say TV1 coax cable went to coax connector behind LR TV labeled Cable. Notice your said TV hooked up to Satellite. OOps But under this scenario given the bedroom TV coax is good and connected to the booster I would expect the bedroom TV to have either a CS cable or over the Air signal based on the booster switch position. This is not the results you have described You have not given me any info as to if you ever tried the LR TV on antenna with BOOSTER SWITCH ON ?????? Given the scenario above I would expect the LR TV to have no over the AIR signal. Again I am assuming you can pick up over the air signal where you are

NOW lets assume that one of the external coax connections or those behind your TV or both are labeled incorrectly.

Okay now lets assume the CS cable which is currently connected to external coax labeled CABLE is really mislabeled and should be labeled SATELLITE. Assuming labeling in LR connect and the TV is still connected to the coax connector labeled SATELLITE. Assuming rig wired correctly I would expect to see exactly what you described LR TV gets signal and no cable signal in bedroom, Obviously if the two coax connectors where mislabeled (switched) you would have the same effect.

I recommend you follow the procedure outlined to isolate the problem using real signals. You may need the meter if say everything in procedure works as expected except bedroom and you verified cable connected from Bedroom coax connector and the booster switch. You could take that cable off the booster switch short out the bedroom coax connector and put the meter on ohms and check for continuity (ZERO) of the coax cable by putting meter leads in the center conductor and connector nut.

Hope this helps, finally getting rid of PA snow
