We have the 3655 FL also. The unmarked recepticle next to the phone hookup is for Cable TV.

Remember, the antenna booster switch controls the output of its jack..the one located in the front desk area. Antenna booster ON, no cable...Antenna booster OFF, no usable "batwing" reception. The correct signal comes through the same output cable at that switch.

We run that cable into the satellite box, as well as the satellite signal input. Output of that box then goes into the DVD/VCR player, and comes out as a Channel 3 output directly to the TV.

End result...with the satellite receiver ON, we get satellite on Channel 3 of the TV. If you play a DVD or VCR tape, that will have priority over satellite, and you will see that instead of satellite TV on Channel 3 of the TV.

To view Cable, just turn the satellite receiver OFF. Make sure the "batwing" antenna booster is also OFF. To view TV from the "batwing" antenna instead, make sure the Satellite receiver is OFF, and turn the antenna booster ON. For either Cable or "batwing" antenna TV, the TV channelization controls what you are watching.

Wheww! I didn't realize it was so complicated!!! Sorry for the long answer to the simple question! If you want more grotesque detail, just send me an e-mail or PM.
