Cable TV Port in Wet Bay Termination Point

[hitchn2go]

Can anyone tell where the CABLE port in the wet bay terminates in a DX3 RB? Is there a comprehensive cable diagram I can get for the AV stuff?

I’ve tested all the cables in the rig. NoJoy!

Thanks in advance.

Ours is on the upper right side, on the control panel by the light.

Oh remember to turn off the antenna power to use cable

The only control panel I have is a 1-to-4 HDMI switch above the entry door. Is that what you speak about?

I should mention that I did not opt for the satellite option so all I have are two coaxial cables not terminated, but neither of those ohm out to that CABLE port. I do have a Antenna power booster/coax port above the driver seat but that did not show a connection to CABLE port either.

No, in the wet bay. Sorry about that

I get that in the wet bay is where you plug-in for cable, but I am looking for the other end of that coax. It has to show up somewhere in the coach.

It does not, they are already all terminated at the TV's. The coax goes IN, from the wet bay. Then it goes to the "back side" of the Winegard antenna booster and from the backside they all go to their respective TV's.

If you hook up to park cable, then just turn off the "Over The Air" antenna booster, change to cable and scan for channels.

BC, you never cease to amaze me. Great video.

that video is also now linked in the online owners manual.

Under appliances/entertainment/electrical/audio visual.

So while the owners manual will continue to be generic, we now have control over the "add ons"...so we will try and put as much "product specific" data that is feasible. But that also means, the best place to get the most current information is going to be the "online manuals" as that will be a living document for each model year. Once we change over to a new model year, then that doc will get archived as it is.

Good video Brian! Another question: Is the coaxial center of that booster plate connected to anything?

Ok, I have an external Dish Playmaker (which is why I did not choose sat option when we ordered DX3). My inside Wally receiver requires an Input from the outside remoted antenna that is coax. Trying to find a coax interface point (from outside to inside) without having to make another coax appearance.

Not sure if this makes sense but best I can do with words.

Thanks for any additional insight...

It does and it won't work. Most of those portable versions get their power THROUGH the coax from the receiver so it needs to be a direct connection to the back of the receiver. That is why it won't work plugged into our coax port as that goes through the Winegard.

Someone on here as I recall was able to get a "power adaptor" or something like that, that provided power to the dish and so the cable would work. I don't recall the details.

Ok, appreciate the quick response. Saves me a bunch of time!
