Television Wiring Schematic

I have a 2014 3850FL and had occasion to camp at site that had cable TV. Does anyone know where I could find a detail of the TV wiring lines? I've got an input labeled "CABLE" in the service panel. So I attached the coax to that line and really couldn't get any channels on any of the 3 TV sets. I ended up hooking to the "SATELITE" connector, then switching out the Main TV to the matching "SATELITE" outlet at the main TV and got the cable access. However, that method did not get me cable access to bedroom or outside TV sets. Is there a switch to turn off access to the antenna signal?
Thanks

If the booster switch is turned on at the antenna connection in the rear closet, it will over-ride any cable signals. There should be a small green light next to the push-button switch that will let you know if it is on. Upper left side of the bedroom closet on the inside.

And don't forget you have to program the television itself.

If antenna amp is on, cable won't work. Television has to be changed from air to cable and channel search done

Unfortunately, the diagram does not apply to a three television model such as the 3850FL. We need to wait and see if the antenna booster is the culprit, which I believe is the case. The booster light is hard to see in the 3850's closet because of the television ac plug and the clothes bar.

Hi

The bottom diagram marked “New 9/24/12” is for 3 televisions. 1 living room, 1 bedroom and 1 basement marked “Baggage compartment coax jack”.

That still doesn’t mean yours is anything like any diagram Keystone may have.

Thanks for all replies. The antenna booster was the culprit. The switch is fairly well hidden in the bedroom closet. Switching the booster off all works as expected.
