TV/cable hookup help

Attached files show current setup. I know the large Dish box, on top of that is Winngard control, little box to left is antenna amp (I think). Problem is the outlets on the vertical mount plate and what they are for. I have zero interest in Dish or sat tv, would much rather have the Connect 2 for Wi-Fi, but will be hooking up cable at RV sites. Do I need to change anything on that vertical partition to do that? Current arrangement works well for local channels using antenna.

Do you have a permanently mounted roof satellite?
Standard setup is configured through the TV inputs via your TV remote.

The only difference between TV and campground cable (after connecting the campground coaxial cable to your RV, is to push the (green light) tiny button on the wall mounted striker plate. This will turn off the amplifier (green light off) for cable. For OTA reception the green light has to be on. Campground cable also needs to be "scanned", like you scan for OTA channels (little green light on). This again is done via the TVs remote once the input is selected.

My system has: Via input screen on the TV
TV input -- Over the air (OTA) reception (green light on)
Cable input -- Campground cable connection (green light off)
HDMI 1 -- Comcast (casting via smartphone)
HDMI 2 -- Dish portable satellite system
HDMI 3 -- Future Apple system
AV -- Audio visual via portable external hard drive.
Computer -- Smart casting for viewing what your computer monitor has showing.
Component -- Not setup for this

Hard to understand for the newbie but a necessary learning curve. All the wires, components and types of connections are inherent to each system and components we use and that in itself is another chapter. Good Luck..

Okay, thank you. I've requested the cable wiring diagram from Jayco but, as with my other requests from them, have received nothing. And yes, I do have permanent roof mount sat system.

If you go to the "manuals" section at the top of the page I posted the schematics for electrical and coax that Jayco sent me. There is also a couple of schematics on wiring for various Dish Tailgator setups but the basic coax setup will work for about anything coming in from the outside connection.

Look at the top of this page that we are on. It says "Jayco Owners" right below that are four sections Jayco Owners, Classified, Manuals, and Registry. Click on the Manuals section. There are a bunch of various postings of manual, instructions. In there is the info I posted.

I couldn't locate the COAX diagram in the Manual tab at top of page. Could you please resend a copy to me or in a post.
Thank You
