Television wiring
Does anyone know how the wiring for the televisions is run? I have the TV jack in the bedroom, a jack behind the living room TV, another jack with two cables that are jumped together behind the living room TV, a roof antenna and a satellite/cable jack in the convenience center. I also have a satellite dome on the roof but that was installed at the dealer and I know how that is run. I'm trying to figure this all out so I can hook it all together and make it work. I'm sure someone has already traced it out and has some sort of diagram drawn up. Any help would be appreciated.

Jim, when you get this all done post what you did, I will be doing the same thing. We are having a Satellite dome installed before we pick up the unit, I want to be able to watch the Satellite programs on both TV sets, thanks Ron

John,
Your diagram was correct, thank you. I took a 3 inch piece of coax, stripped one end and twisted the braid to the wire. Then I put a barrel connector on the other end. I plugged this into the jack in the convenience center and went inside with my multimeter. When I found the wire that ohmed out, I labled both ends of the wire. I did this for the rest of the coax's and now all the jacks and wires are nicely labeled. This will make it easier to install the satellite box when we travel.

I traced all the wires and than bought a selector box from cw. The box has a amplifier in it for the roof ant. I iliminated the wall box in the bedroom closet. I connected the wire from the roof ant to the cable that went to the lr tv. All the other cables at the lr tv connected to the selector box. I tapped into a light over the desk to pick up the 12v for the amp. I can now control both tv's from the selector box in the lr. I can switch either tv between ant, sat or park cable.
