Does anybody know where the cable tv / antenna splitters are located on a 38FL Front Living Redwood?
We do not have the outside TV option so there is a tv cable connection in the top cabinet above our pantry.
Rear Bedroom tv works great on the OTA antenna or park cable but our Front living room tv does not get most channels when using the OTA or Cable (cable is very fuzzy)
Seems like we have a cable issue, maybe something loose at.the splitters as they both used to work great

From experience, always look behind a TV on the wall in the living room. In the bedroom, pull the light fixture directly above the cabinet by the TV. Then, consider looking behind the light fixture in the kitchen and in a hallway.
Lunacy, but that's where they have been...
Just remember the FL is a different animal than the RL.
The rear bedroom TV is in the wardrobe slide between the hanging closets and the front living TV is in the back of the kitchen pantry.
Rob,
Although ours is the 36FL, I vaguely recall having a similar problem with the LR telly on our first trip. Our TV is located in the slide and on the bulkhead behind we have 2 cable outlets. I played around with combinations of both outlets and the signal booster and eventually got it working.
Haven't seen any cable splitters on our 36FL.
On my FB & a fellow RWers RL there was one in the ceiling light above & to the right of the bedroom tv. Not sure on the FL, but I'd look in the ceiling near wherever your antenna booster is located, had to fish around in the ceiling to pull it out.

Well, took me some time but with a cable trace tool and some digging around in the ceiling, I finally figured out where everything is.
Remember this is the layout for a 38FL Front Living and will have no similarity to a Rear Living.
The Gray Coax Cable for the TVs that comes from the Antenna Amplifier (the plate with the pushbutton and green light for the outside antenna, where the outside OTA Antenna is connected and the Park Cable is connected) above the Front Living Room TV goes all the way back to the area just above the ceiling light next to the Kitchen Pantry.
What I found above the Light was a 3 Way Splitter connected to a 2 Way Splitter.
Basically there are Gray 5 TV Cables up there.
Using my new cable identifier, I was able to identify all but one cable.
One Cable goes to the Antenna Amplifier output terminal above the TV
One Cable goes to the Front Living Room TV
One Cable goes to the Bedroom TV
One Cable goes to the TV outlet in the ceiling in the cabinet above the Pantry
One Cable goes to unknown, I assume it goes to the outside compartment by the dining table but I cannot find a cable in that area (in 2014 the outside TV was an option, we did not get that option)
I removed the cable connection from the Storage Cabinet above the pantry ( we will never put a TV up there).
I did not connect the unknown Cable as 2 TVs is plenty for us.
I installed a single splitter with on input and two outputs, the input is confirmed it goes to the Antenna Amplifier output above the Front Living Room TV, the splitter outputs are confirmed, one goes to the Front Living TV and one goes to the Rear Bedroom TV.
Guess this coming memorial day weekend we will see if the effort was worth it and all TVs work as they should.
We are at a CG in Defuniak Springs FL this weekend. I did not get the satellite dish out as usual and have setup our TVs on the park cable connection and the OTA antenna.
Both are now working awesome, great clear OTA signal and the park cable that was very snowy a few weeks ago when we were here on the same site is crystal clear with all channels.
The 1/2 day I spent chasing down all my cable connections and splitters was well worth the effort, our TVs have never worked this good on park cable or OTA.
