Getting the OTA tv working again
The PO of my 97 adventurer had satellite with "dedicated" coax installed and obviously had hookups all the time so I am attempting to get the original antenna working again. 1. Replaced the Head wi...

Blutoyz, l'm getting in on this kind of late but maybe I can still give you some help. I have an '02 Adventurer and the original owner and the second owner were hacks where the A/V was concerned. I tried to figure it all out and finally stripped out all the suff that didn't run through the walls or ceiling, identified all the remaining cables and put new f type connectors on all the cables. At this point the A/V cabinet had, the Winegard power plate, the B.O.M.B. and the following cables; a cable from the antenna to the Winegard power plate. One from the power bay to the cabinet with the Winegard power plate. One to the rear and outside TV's from the a/v cabinet.
If you are not familier with the BOMB, it is just a bunch of switches for a/v signals. If you do not have one you run the cables differently but in the end you get the same result.
You didn't mention one so l'll go with that in mind. You certainly seem to be very knowledgable so I'll leave out the finite stuff.
With all the Winegard Sensr Pro equipment in hand, Install it in the new location you chose so you can see the readout. follow the schematic and you should be good to go.
If you want the ability to use the park cable hookup, you will need either an A/B switch or the previously mentioned B.O.M.B.
If you want to use a DVD, or BluRay player, that is where things get fuzzy. In this rig, I have two BluRay players. They connect with HDMI cables directly to the TV and I have to use the INPUT feature of the TV to select either the RG cable input or the HDMI input. I haven't seen any BluRay players with F-type connection as coax cables won't give you a true BluRay HD signal.
In my previous rig I had a HDMI splitter and only one player. You can also get a HDMI to RF converter and then you are really into the need for a B.O.M.B. and you don't get the BluRay HD signal on RF.
Something I found very handy when hookin uo cables is a F type connector that is internally jumpered. You can put it on the end of a cable say on the roof and use your DMM to locate from inside.
As always if you want any further info, PM me and we'll talk.
