    Over the air antenna cables.

    I have no in put from the antenna to the tvs. I checked the cable from the antenna to inside by the handle and that is good. I checked the cable from there and cannot find the opposite end. Checked all the connectors in the wall behind the main tv and no signal gets through. I have by passed all this with a separate cable to make sure I get a signal from the antenna,and I do. So the question is from the cable connection in the roof by the antenna, where does the cable go to next?

    When I send a signal from the antenna, before the booster, I get no signal out of any cable coming that hooks up to the booster. So the question is when I send a signal from the antenna, where is it going? Is there a bad cable or is the cable running somewhere else?

    Hey Sub632,
    Back to LC's question . . . we could offer better experience/advice if we knew which GDRV model you have.

    It should go to the booster, it has to be "on" because it is a switch also.

    Yes, going to the booster is what I would think too. I checked all the cables that plug into the booster and I get no signal. My assumption at this time is that the cable from the ceiling in the bedroom to the booster is some how compromised, or hooked up somewhere else. So far I cannot find any other place. The cable and the sat connections all work at all tv's. I thank everyone who is providing input, it all helps!!

    Over the air antenna cables.

    Dumb question, but is the booster on and is the TV set for antenna rather than cable?

    Yes, to the above. I was able to get Grand Design to send me the cable wiring diagram and yes the cable goes from the antenna to the back of the amp in position A. My problem is that cable and I am going to change both connectors to see if I get a signal through the cable. If that doesn't work then I'm going to have to run a new cable. For everyone's information I am using a Cable Pro, CPPT-1 Pen Toner and it works great to check cables. I highly recommend it. Thanks everyone!
