2019 furrion tv antenna, no signal

2019 keystone cougar 5th wheel, furrion tv/am/fm/lte antenna,,,in Oklahoma and the winds make me put my directv trav’ler dish down often so been watching over the air local channels, been fine for 12 months but this morning i woke up to no signal on both TVs, the radio is getting FM, the instructions show a power button and lite on wall plate but i have 1 input and 3 output plates but no switch on any of them, there is a light on input plate that says power and its lit, was getting signal last night and now im not? also if i ever plug CATV cable in will it auto switch since i dont see a button on plate like older models

    It is possible the plates are mis-labeled. You need to "Tone out" the cables.. Easiest might to be to hook up a cable tracker from harbor Freight to each possible input (park cable jack, Satellite jack. REAR TV, and pull the plate with the power light and the "TV" cable on it) see where they go.

    Was working last night.....didn't change anything

    Very windy------did RV Antenna 'move'
    Narrow digital range --slight change in antenna direction WILL drop channels

    Very windy last night ..... Is the antenna still up there?

    Just a wild guess.

    Had that problem last fall (Antenna no longer up there) I forgot to lower it when changing campgrounds. The new head is better so it turned out not to be a bad think (I upgraded to winegard Sensar IV head)

    Another thought... I mop my roof twice a year (routine maintenance) and one of the times I touched the roof to antenna cable just enough that the connection (Which on my rig is buried in the roof) came apart.. Wind could do it too.

    NOTE that this connection was in terrible shape. I wound up replacing the connector and both cable ends due to corrosion.. THen I sealed it up TIGHT so that in theory I won't have to do this again. 2nd rig I've seen with this problem.
