Satellite connection for rear entertainment - 2017 371REBH

I'm getting ready to have satellite service installed on my 2017 371REBH. While I can see the satellite connection for Main at the docking station, I'm not able to find the other end at the TV location. The antenna/cable TV line comes from a hole in the wall and connect to my TV, I also see a coax line for the sound bar as well. The TV is in one of those cabinets where it drops down out of site, so there's not a coax wall plate as seen in the bunk room and bedroom.

Anyone have any knowledge on this?

Thanks,
Jason

On my 2016 371REBH, there is a second cable in the cabinet with the TV that is not connected, you might have to fish around for it, but mine has one in there. I even think mine might have a tag on it that says satellite, think it is grey colored.

Ok, Thanks! I'll probably have to pull the TV out and dig deep, I did see what looks like a white coax going to the floor and I couldn't see the termination point on it.

Ah ha! I did find the extra coax line. It's a gray color while the tv antenna cable is white. It didn't have a tag on it, but I'm sure that has to be the one since it's the only one left. I just needed to tug on it to see that it's not attached to anything as it was hidden in the loom of wires.

Thanks for the tip!

I believe they use the gray coax for sat.
