TV Cables on 351RLTS

CBL · 01-08-2022, 03:56 PM

I just bought an 2011 Eagle 351RLTS. The TV in the bedroom does not get a signal. The previous owner used a Satellite hookup and had that TV out when we purchased it. Were should a distribution box be located and/or where does that cable terminate? The only thing I see in the cabinet next to the fireplace is the Antenna Booster switch/led and an A/B coax outlet for a jumper. I'm guessing I'll have to dig into the area behind the fireplace but hoping for a simpler answer

Thanks.

my bedroom TV only works when the LED is lit on the switch. The same for the outlet in the basement.

My guess is on the back of the amplifier/antenna booster there should a coax coming from the antenna and one from the cable connection. There is likely an output that goes to the TV near the amplifier and another output that goes to either a 3 way or 4 way splitter. That will be the source for the other TV's. Now the million dollar question you have is where is that splitter located. My guess is near the amplifier/antenna booster.

The antenna signal to theTV will work best if it is turned on. But if you connect to cable you will need to turn it off. It's magic when it works. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the replies. I guess I’ll have to squeeze myself into that cabinet and start removing panels to find it.

the amplifier and and A/b switch is actually part of the wall plate with the switch behind TV. If you carefully remove that wall plate you can reveal it. The replacement part is on Amazon. You'll have to de-mount your TV to get room for access. I actually put a door on mine and ditched the factory mount

Thanks again... however I dont suspect anything is wrong with the amp or the a/b switch...I'm simply trying to find the end of the cable that runs to the bedroom tv. Sounds like the splitter is behind that wall plate with the amp. I was just hoping it would easier to access.

Yup,, the splitter is behind that wall plate, in fact it all part of one unite. Everything is crammed in there pretty tight so have some patience pulling that bess out. Good Luck

Have you checked the antenna outlet in the front bedroom closet to see if there is a cable terminated?
Mine terminates in a coax outlet in the right side of the front closet.

No but I thought about that. It’s winterized now and I will not be back to check on it until the first part of April. Thanks for all the suggestions.
