I just tried connecting to the campground cable service for the first time in my 23 accolade and I am not able to find any channels during a scan. I have gotten antenna channels (with ant switch on) in previous locations, but there aren't any ota channels here. I turned off the ant power with the cable plugged in to the campground connection and into my accolade cable Input, but none of my TVs can find any channels during a scan. When I run the coax directly to a TV, it finds the channels. I had a wiring issue in my previous rig that had the coax mixed up on the back of the antenna switch, but when I pulled this one, there aren't any coax plugs (but it does have multiple other connections)..is there another coax switch/distribution point somewhere?

Note: connections on back of TV and back of the rigs Input panel are tight, but I haven't been able to trace any wires on the inside yet...
 
It’s not uncommon for the coax cab.es to be connected backwards on the back of the water panel. On the back of the panel there should be a black and a grey coax, the black coax should be connected to the cable in port of the panel. The cable layout varies by floor plan but the color coding remains the same on all.

As always thanks Rusty. You were right that it was wired incorrectly at the back of the panel. My cable coax was not connected (I didn't see it before you sent the wiring diagram) and the sat coax was connected to the cable input. At least 2 of my 3 tvs are now picking up the channels (haven't scanned on the outside TV yet).

Thanks again
