Wisdom required
Cable to trailer in is good . No signal anywhere else inside trailer antenna works well. Anyone had this happen and what did you do? Larry

Chase that cable and replace everyone of their coax connectors.
I would start on the splice box for the entertainment slide.

Larry-- Did you turn the amplifier off- the one that has the little green light on it in the bedroom!?! I've heard of that causing a problem but that's all I know since I don't have a satellite signal catcher I can't help you any further than that!

X2 on both. Start with the antenna booster and then start replacing the cable connections. When the dish guy was out here both of mine in the convenience center were spinning when you tried to tighten them. Cheap chinese junk. Pulled the cover and replaced them with expensive chinese junk.

Check every connection. The cable input cable to my bedroom Tv was not connected at all.

Is the park cable signal good? Can you run the cable from the park connection direct to the TV to make sure it is working?

Is yours one of the set-ups that needs the jumper cable to get outside cable. Over the air antenna would work without it but cable would not. Look inside where the cable comes in from outside and see if there are 2 coax connections on the plate. There should be a short piece of cable connecting the two. If it's there then like everyone else I had to replace a bunch of the connections on the cables. Most of them where ready to fall off.

The plate with the two connectors is where my coaxial MELTED. The cable company and Team Montana had never heard of this. I think that this happened during a power surge. We had our surge protector plugged in. Finally disconnected the cable, returned the box, they checked the pedestal and I sent the surge prtector back to factory and had them check it out. Don't knoww if I will have he same problem this year down there, but we won't be getting cable again in Arizona.
