There is an HDMI to CAT6 network adapter down in the buffet and the other end is in the front overhead compartment on the driver's side. That is where the "opposite" device turns the network signal back to HDMI for the satellite receiver if you add one (or could use it for DVD/Blu Ray). They pulled 2 network cables in case you wanted to get a second converter set and have both your sat and dvd player in there although changing disks would be a chore. There are various network standards (Cat 5,6,7). Be sure the devices match the cable Winnebago used on yours. You might want to see if the wall wart for the upper converter is plugged in on the passenger side. I bet you have the same issue I had. As I remember, I had CAT 5 cable and the device called for CAT 6. I went round and round with them over the incompatibility and eventually bought one myself that matched the cable in my coach. This was when it was new and still under under warranty and fixing it myself was far easier on the blood pressure. They are not expensive if yours does not work. BTW, you can upgrade your TV to a 43" 4K smart TV, it will fit. You can get matching Insignia brand at Best Buy for around $300. Much better TV experience. There is also an infrared "repeater" so your remote will operate whatever you have above the driver. There is a round "eye" on the front edge of the buffet (flickers blue when you use a remote) and there are two small emmitters in the overhead on long wires. They have double sided tape on the back side so you can stick them where your device can see them. If you decide to go satellite, there is a cable hidden in the roof structure. You should have in your paperwork a template that shows where to use a holesaw to get to it. If not, Winne customer service can email you one.
