TV Antenna vs Cable Operation
Potentially stupid question here. I have tons of manuals that came with my RV but none describe how the Antenna (roof mounted) vs. Cable input should work.
I had a 250-foot spool of RG6 laying around (doesn't everyone?) so I made a 50' cable to run from the front of the RV (where the "CABLE TV" input is) to the post at most campgrounds. Tried it this past weekend. It didn't work. Actually the cable worked when plugged directly into the TV, but there does not appear to be any distribution happening in the RV since when I plugged it into the aforementioned "CABLE TV" jack, it didn't work. I have a jack up front and one in the bedroom - neither appeared to be working. The jack up front has a switch. If you flick it one way, a red light comes on. Flick it the other way, no red light.
What is this switch? I assume it's to switch between antenna and cable? Which does the red light indicate?
