How to get the Television to work in bedroom

I have a 2017 5th wheel and mounted the TV in the bedroom. There was already one in living room. I have to coax connectors (one cable and one satellite) and the button for antenna boost right above bedroom TV as well as power.

I hook a coax from campground pedestal to the coax connecter in side of 5th wheel marked cable and I connected a coax from connector right above bedroom TV to cable and then to TV. No picture.

What am I doing wrong?

I just used the one marked SAT for TV and it worked fine. I swapped the labels and all good.. I'll probably never have SAT, but that's what worked for me..

Good luck! Mitch


That is a very common problem.. Glad you figured it out.
Home was where I park it. but alas the.

in my TT, the living area tv worked fine on cable but not the bedroom tv, which only worked on OTA signal.
i had add a splitter to get cable to both tvs.

Bingo, Usually. But, he states he has the BOOSTER in the Bedroom. So, the coax connection on the booster plate should have OTA when ON and Coax when OFF. He needs to verify his Living Room TV has Cable when the booster is OFF or ON. I have a feeling the Living Room has Cable regardless of the position of the booster button. He needs to check and report on this. Doug

I do have the antenna booster turned off and I thought I did the scan for channels but will try that again
