I'm finally getting back to TV signal coax wiring. 09 model Grand Junction with (nonfunctional) KVH sat dish on roof.
Bedroom has 2 coax connections, higher and lower.
LR has 2 coax connections, kinda. Upper is a Winegard TV amp / switch, circa 2008. Lower is simple coax connector. A new Winegard digital amp/scanner is part of this process.
I pulled both bedroom connectors, and both were simple connections to a coax cable.
I pulled both LR connectors. Lower was simple connection to a coax cable. Upper (Winegard amp) had COAX CABLES on ANT and TV1 , but nothing connected to CABLE.
All these wires conveniently disappear into the wall.
There is big collection of all kinds of wires in the shelf below the LR TV, which houses the DVD/Stereo, sat receiver and the BOMB.
One of these coax wires is labeled TO BR LOWER COAX and, indeed is correct. Nothing else with meaningful labels.
QUESTIONS
1. Is it safe to assume this labeled wire was intended to connect the BR TV to multiple inputs via the BOMB and the upper BR coax goes to the KVH dish?
2. Is it logical that the LR lower connection goes to the KVH dish?
3. I plan to go to the KVH dish and connect the two outputs with a coupler, then use the LR lower coax to connect a different sat dish input to go to the BR upper coax. Do you see a problem with this?
4. I do have a cable input on the camper near the fresh water connections. Any idea where this cable goes? It may be part of my mess of wires in the LR. How do I determine which one? Hook up a sat receiver output to the cable input and see if I get a signal somewhere? Other better suggestions?
