Tube TV to LED - help need

[jimgior]

I purchased a 2007 W. Vista 30b that had a tube TV in it. Above the passenger side storage was a Winegard digital converter box. After installing the LED TV I can't get the TV to recognize over the air channels.

I have 3 coax cables coming from the roof. One goes to the satellite outlet on the drivers side, then there are two others, one has a red marking on it the other a green. I connected both of those, one at a time, and searched for channels - and nothing.

Any ideas or suggestions? What's the difference between the two coax cables coming from the roof marked red and green?

No info on the color code but I might throw in my thoughts. Have you found a switch for the amplifier on the antenna? Threw me for a loop for the first one I had as it was only a small switch on the back part of a switchplate located up in a cabinet. And to make it even harder, the LED indicator was on the back side behind the coax. On cable the switch/ amp were to be off but needed on when over the air. Mine was a small slide switch and really easy to miss.

Antenna amp turned on?

Any help with this:

Problem solved thanks to Morich. I installed a line from the output left of the on/off switch (photo above) directly to the tv and got a signal.

I figured out the red and blue coax - one goes to the back tv the other goes to the front are wired to the back of the outlet in Morich's photo. I assume originally there was a control box that they went into that the original owner removed.

Do you have the manual for your RV?
If not, this is what I think fits yours and section 8 may help figure what was there when new:

Chasing coax can be a real trick! Good luck!

Just a suggestion, from my experience.
If you convert to a flat screen, go with a "Smart" one. That is one that's able to directly connect to the internet.
In some campgrounds, you have internet that allows you to view movies. If not, you can use your smart phone to supply a "personal hotspot" for your TV to use. With decent phone service, it works very well and we watch Netflix or Amazon shows in HD. Make sure you have unlimited data for the phone! Movies burn data very fast.
