I didn't want to hijack anyones tread so figured I'd ask here. I've heard a lot of talk about replacing the regular tv booster wall plate with the new Sensar Pro and have read it's a direct replacement. But the question I keep coming up with is , where do you connect the tv coax cable? All the pictures I've seen don't show a connection for the tv output.We have an older 2007 Thor Wave TT and the OTA isn't all that good, and we watch it a lot more than the dish. I realize I'll probably wind up having to replace the batwing/wingman also but figured I'd start here first.

There are 3 cable that hang out back side of unit. 1 antenna, 1 front TV and 1 Rear TV.

I could not be more pleased with my Sensar Pro. Tune the direction for peak signal, adjustable gain and two outputs to eliminate loss and splitters.I more than doubled the number of channels received at my house.

As mentioned, there are 2 TV outs but they are both in the back of the Sensar Pro. In most cases, this is where the TV coax(es) are located and not an issue. However, if you do use and need a front output you can simply feed one of the 2 connection in the back between the wall and the wall plate and connect the coax in front. You could also drill a hole in the cabinet and install a barrel connector (if it's thin wall) to connect front to back or, as mentioned above, install a separate wall plate with a barrel connector. Both of those options would be done simply for looks as the first option works just as well.

Thanks for the fast replies. That makes more sense now. The plate is mounted on 1/2" wood wall but adding a second plate, or just running it out under the plate, isn't a problem. That's how I have my Dish connected through the cable input now.

Been a couple of years since I did mine. CRS does not help.
Here is a link to the SensorPro on Winegard site. Click on manual to see how to wire it.

I replaced my BOMB with the Sensar and wired everything direct when I converted to HD.
My av cab is next the front tv with one shelf about halfway up. I was in a hurry to get everything installed so "temporarily" mounted mine with 2 pcs of Velcro on the front of the Sensar cover and 2 pcs on the inside lip of the door frame. Works so well I am leaving it and I can rip it out if and when I need to.
