We would like to help but could you be more specific about what issues you have?


In general terms you have one cable that you attach in one of your compartments that you attach campground TV cable.


You have a roof antenna cable that is run by a 12 volt amplifier. ( You must turn on at the small control panel in back of your cabinet.


You also have a Satellite cable from the roof for future Satellite dish on the roof.


All the coax cables go to a switch box that you select ROOF ANTENNA, CAMPGROUND CABLE or SATELLITE DISH ON ROOF.


You also must have the TV set menu set to select the proper input source or you will not receive anything. You also need to do a TV channel scan each time you hook up to the roof or campground cable.


Hope this give you a little better understanding of what you ay have
Good luck.

Ok here is what's happening ,when I put cable wire from control box in sat using the outside cable connection.And then the output from controlbox for TV to the sat box ,both tvs show same stations one should be sat and other should be ant ,so this is the problem.
Hope this makes sense .

I believe what ever you have selected at the TV input select box (CABLE/ANT/SAT) both TV's will have the same input because the rear TV is connected via a splitter after the afore mentioned input select box. This is the way my GT is wired from the factory. You would need to find that splitter and disconnect the rear TV's coax and route it to a separate select box and parallel all the input viewing options to the new select box to be able to set the rear TV up for alternate viewing.

I am not 100% sure on your model, but it is likely behind the TV that is closest to the Switch box (the one in the living room).

They don't have to watch the same channel if the input is park cable or over the air antenna, just have to watch the programming from the same source. Sat is a whole different ball game.

That only applies if you are using SAT with a single tuner. if you are on the antenna or park cable, you can watch different channels.

Is this what you have: It shows prewire for sat but you probably connected at the park cable port. You can see that the splitter is after the control box if this is what you have.
