Sattelite hookup

Potentially, there is nothing wired to the satellite plate... you might have to pull the cover to see. The builder may have just set the connections up for antenna / cable as most users would be in that "mode". IF you were a sat user, then the assumption might be that you wouldn't use those two modes and left you with a "manual swing". If so, I added a two coax plate and connected the original connection to it, then ran a some "jumper coax" off the back of the second coax to the "ant / coax" plate where the outside connection would have been connected. I used a short coax cable to jumper across the "two coax plate" to use the system for cable tv.... but when I used my sat, I used that short jumper coax to run to direct to the receiver. Thus, there is no extra coax having to be run / pulled... and I have access to catv / ant / sat at any given time by just changing jumpering and / or pushing the button.
