The answer about the Check Switch routine is the one you want to pursue. Follow the Winegard instructions that came with the Pathway to get the receiver setup for that particular antenna. Once you have the receiver properly setup to work with that antenna then things will work. I highly recommend that you do this by running a coax directly from the antenna to the receiver. There is no way to know if you have coax cabling issues but they are quite common. Once you have the receiver working and you are watching TV you can go back and connect the cabling the way the coach is setup to discover whether that is also part of the problem.
