Using cable tv input on Forza 38W
I have been to campgrounds that offer cable TV connections and was able to use them in my past RV's but have been unable to connect in my current 2018 Forza 38W. There is roof-top Satellite Dish that connects to a HDMI hub in the entertainment center and that works fine. There is a roof mounted amplified over the air antenna with a steering knob and a signal strength meter. That is connected to the antenna input of the tv and also works fine. It must come through splitters since all TV's receive the signal from the roof antenna. On the Winnebago drawings, from the website, there is a wallplate that powers the roof over the air antenna and also has a switch which either selects the cable tv, when powered off, or the antenna when powered on. I am unable to locate this switch. It is supposed to be in the back of the entertainment center but all that is there is the satellite dish jacks, two for the roof antenna and one for the outside dish jack that is mounted next to the cable tv jack in the power cabinet near the rear of the coach on the driver's side. The drawing also indicates that colored tape is used to identify the video cables. The one coming from the switch is GRN but the one connected to the coax in jack of the main TV is Orange. Does anyone know where I might find the power and video switcher shown on the Winnebago drawings. I think the same switch power wallplate was used on my previous DAMON and Forest River RV's but in both those cases it was in the cabinet with the entertainment equipment.
