Front living room cable to Samsung tv
Does anyone have any experience and knowledge of how the cable to coach TV cable makes its way to the front TV? We stayed at a park recently with cable hookup and set the rear TV to program the available cable channels. 60 channels were available and worked fine.We then proceeded to do the same with the front living room Samsung TV. Working the menu to cable it proceeded to attempt to program the available cable channels. When the TV was done, it informed us that no cable was attached. So, we are thinking a loose cable connection on the TV and after snugging up the TV and cable outlet connection on the wall we started the process again to no avail. I now figured that a follow the cable game is in progress. First, I removed the the wall plate that has three connections with the cable on top,the satellite in the middle and the outside TV on the bottom and tightened all connections. Next, I programmed the TV on all three connections thinking they were installed wrong- no good on that one. Then went to convenience center and removed the cable to coach connection and tightened that. Then removed the backside panel of the cable to coach connection located in the storage area and was amazed at what I saw! Wires were everywhere and the cable to coach wire went to the rear behind the hot water heater with the other satellite and then up. Then removed panel under sink to get closer to where the cable routes and all cable and satellite cable go up into walls with no access. I did notice a white cable wire headed back to the outside tv connection in the storage area. The cable going to the front TV cable hookup is white and I''m thinking there has to be a splitter somewhere. Any suggestions?

If you have a fireplace under the living room TV, you may need to take out the fireplace to get to the splitter, that's the way my '15 3160RL is set up. The cable runs up the wall & through the roof.

Also look closely at the cable connectors. We replaced ours with good ones and solved our problems.

On our 3800, in the closet in the bedroom there is the pre-amp with the switch that will be in off to watch cable. There is a short cable that plugs into the front of the pre-amp that comes from another panel with three connections, front/bedroom tv, sat, and tv in passthru. You should have something like this as well I would think...unless they decided to do it with a multi-input splitter. John

Had to have ours reworked by Keystone at the service center when it was in for other issues. They replaced several connectors. Not sure what all was wrong, but it works now. I don't know why they can't direct wire to each TV with one splitter right behind the convenience center. If there was only one splitter and the connectors were all easily accessed at each wall plate and behind the convenience center, it would be so easy to troubleshoot.
