Tv cable routing

Question

The tv in the bedroom will no longer recieve the air tv stations. The tv in the living area does, and the booster is on. I have replaced the coax from the wall to the tv, and did not change. Took the plate off the wall, has two coax cables into a splitter of some kind. Took them off and then put back on.
Unable to find a wiring schematic to determine how the two tvs are wired from the antenna.
Any ideas? The tv connected fine and then lost connection.

you didn't over tighten the cable to the TV did you. they aren't made to take much  and it may have snapped the input connection.

Not much of a chance that any of the cabling has gone bad with maybe one exception. Have you any problems with mice ?

Aside from that, there may be a problem with either the "splitter" as you described or the tv, itself. Try taking the bedroom tv into the living room & connecting it, & see what happens. If it gets reception there, then you've narrowed the problem back to the splitter or cabling.

How old is the RV & the tv, in the bedroom ?

Do you have a picture of the wall plate splitter? It is likely a loop through system and that splitter has failed. It is probably losing too many dbs to give you a picture.

I am a cable guy and I see them in older houses but they no longer work in most cases.

I would run some voltage off a battery through the coax to the bedroom first to make sure the line is good, then proceed from there.
