What are the coaxial connections next to my TV?

[dee74]

I have a new tt so I am still learning about the trailer. Next to my TV is a small metal plate screwed into the cabinet with two coaxial connections. There is a short piece, about 3 inches, of what looks like coaxial cable with connectors on both ends that are screwed into the connections on the plate. I know this is not the antenna booster, that is located higher in the cabinet with a cable going directly to the tv. Does anybody know what this thing is?

You should be able to find two outside co-ax hookups, one for an outside satelite on the backside of the trailer, and another on the front side, so you can watch TV on the living side.

Did you look at this? Someone probably used a satellite receiver box and this setup allows you to use the wiring inside the TT.

I just saw this. I have a brand new tt so no one used a satellite receiver box but this is good information. I can only assume the jumper is there to allow the use of satellite in the future.

I have to ask. Did this come with a users manual? I looked at the company site and found "supplements". If those are the only manuals I would be highly disappointed.

That's what I was wondering also- maybe one is satellite (or cable- can't remember which one you said you DO have), and the other from digital TV antenna?

I should also add, in case it helps, my tt only has a hook up for cable. I do not have a hook up for satellite.

On mine it is the external cable input that comes to that dual coax plate, which is beside the living room TV. The jumper redirects the signal to the ant/cable select switch in the bedroom.

I do not have a separate external satellite coax input. So the dual coax wall plate provides the ability to remove the short jumper, run a coax from that plate to the sat receiver box, run another short coax from fhe receiver to the other wall plate coax which sends the TV signal to the bedroom TV. An HDMI cable connects the sat box to the living room TV.

I do not have an antenna/cable select switch but I do have hook ups in my bedroom. This may be some type of jumper.

I should also add, in case it helps, my tt only has a hook up for cable. I do not have a hook up for satellite.

I forgot to take a photo and the tt is 90 minutes away.
