Mini Lite 2504S tv cable question

I’m trying to identify the coax cables behind my Furrion tv.
The black one hooked to the tv goes to the roof antenna.
There is a purple one that is not connected to the tv. Does that cable connect to the outside satellite port on the bunk side of the camper, or to the outside tv port on the other side of the camper?
I also see a male coax connector behind the tv that says “aux”.
What is that connected to?
-Thanks

After some investigation with my volt ohm meter and some extra coax cable, I’ve got the answers to my own questions.
The black cable from the television to the tv port on the wall plate is connected to the roof antenna. That same port has a splitter on it that goes to the outside tv port. The one next to the outside tv mount. The other port that is labeled”aux/sat”on the plate (above the above the tv port) goes to the outside port labeled “satellite”.
The purple cable goes to the outside port labeled “cable”

Well if you are saying the coax to the TV is from a booster power panel for the roof antenna then the coax to the TV is connected to the roof antenna but only when the booster panel is ON. It is from the park cable port and is active when the booster panel is OFF. Yes the panel is also a splitter. The booster panel needs to be OFF when park cable is what you want to watch.
