Hello Mark,

I am not sure what you mean by “media switch”. Most RVs are equipped with an antenna booster that has a button on it to turn it on or off. You need this button to be in the “off” position when watching cable, it is a selector switch as well. I have not seen one of these with different options for other media outlets. It might be something manufacturer specific. Without knowing what the system is, I can’t say what can be done about using it differently. If you can send pictures or get some information on what type of system you have and explain a little more about what you are looking to do I would be glad to see what I can help with.

Sincerely,

Hello Bobby,

Thank you for contacting us.

The main line is supposed to go to the booster. It then gets split off to other TV’s. I would remove the booster and check the connections on the back and look for a splitter. Often there is just a loose connection. The best place to start is at the booster though since this is normally where it gets split off. You also want to check the coax ends, often the manufacture installed bad connectors. I am not sure what loose connections you found but you already found some, there could be more.

Hello Dan,

Thank you for contacting us.

What is the year, make, and model of your RV?

Thanks!

Hi Rick- We do not have a class for this issue at this time. There are splitters in the RV’s but typically they are past the main living room TV. The outside coax connection goes to the antenna booster/cable selector on the back of the main TV. It then goes through a splitter to go to the remaining TV coax’s. If you have it connected to the main coax connection then there shouldn’t be a signal loss, if there is then there is a bad connection somewhere. Most of the time the coax’s don’t have a long enough stem to make a good connection from the factory. I have had to replace many coax ends to get a better connection. The best thing to do is to remove the connections and check the ends and make sure they are install snug.
