Raptor, cable TV plug help needed

Hi all.
We just got a new 2017 Raptor 5th wheel.

It has 3 coaxial ends, to hook a coaxial cable to.
They are not labeled.

They are in a row, top to bottom.
I have seen two before, one for cable, one for satellite.

I don't know why there are three, and which is which, and what the 3rd one is for.

The dealer talked to their rep, and the rep said they should be labeled. That doesn't help me. They can't seem to tell me which is which.

Anyone else have this, and can tell me what they are supposed to be labeled as???

Thanks

    I had the three connetions 1 and 2 for Sat and 3 for cable. Had three cables in the entertainment center marked 1-2-3. They were mismarked inside 1 outside was 2 inside and viceverse. Only good thing was they were different colors so
    with a flashlight and sticking my head in the battery box I could see which was on top, middle and bottom.

    What does OTA stand for?


    Over the air, normally antenna on roof.

    My View has three coax connectors behind the TV, one for OTA/cable, one for a roof satellite antenna, and one for a portable satellite antenna.

    Mine has 3 hookups, OTA, cable, and sat. Mine weren't labeled either, just needed to try, to see what was for what. The outside corner was not labeled either, one was cable, one sat.
