Am looking for suggestions. TV's are on air antenna. Lounge and BR TV's working fine with good pictures. The photo is the outside TV. Have checked and tightened all connections I can locate and changed the coax running to the TV. TIA for thoughts.

Check the splitter, it maybe that it is sending out a bad signal.

Remove the light fixture above & to the right of the bedroom tv then reach in the hole & fish around, on mine I found the splitter (which was connected wrong) & the satellite cables about foot back towards the front/center of the ceiling.
BobJudy, did you scan the channels on the outside tv? Just a thought.

I will let you know tomorrow, I am going to speak with a tech at Hitch n Go RV. I do know that they have moved it. It could also be a bad connection on a cable.

Channel scan was done. Will follow your suggestion on the light early next week and will let you know. Packing today to head for MorRyde tomorrow for IS and E/H brakes.

That's what I am afraid of. Trying to locate the correct cable, much less the connections is like trying to catch a fly in a hurricane. 🙂 Is that a mixed metaphor?

Actually it wasn't that difficult once you find the splitter. The "in" on the splitter should come directly from the back of the antenna booster & unless they changed it should be the gray cable & all the others on the splitter, "out", to all the tv's, the white cable on the booster came from the antenna. Also the satellite cables are in the same light fixture & they're orange.

The splitter on our 2015 MB2 is located above the light in the rear of our coach on the left side as you look out the back window. I found ours were never tightened and once tightened received good signal in all tv's.
hope this helps.
