Took the 93 GV to the lake for the first time this year and, of course, there is always something that broke during the winter. I replaced the TV last year and everything was working great when I parked it. Now I have no video to the TV. I noticed the power button on the Winegard Video Center in the back appears to not be getting power and it has to be on for anything to work. I pulled the panel and the only items on the circuit board are 3 switches. VCR record, power, and TV switch, one resister and an LED light. I probed the board and no power anywhere. I pulled the panel in the closet and all the wires go down except the coax which goes up toward the roof. This is the only system I don't have any documentation on. I looked all over the coach and can't figure out where the coax switch or the power supply is located or any fuse that said Winegard. I know there is an outside cable connection somewhere because the previous owner has a long coax in the compartment with the spare tire but I havn't located that either. Any help would be appreciated.

Did you check you GFI breaker.
If I have one, I don't know where it is. Why would they GFI the Winegard and nothing else. Everything else is working including the new microwave. From the wire size and LED, I suspect it is DC coming to the panel.
my outside cable connection is located in the service bay next to the telephone line input
Here is the contact info for Winegard.

I think that your unit is discontinued but I am sure someone knows how to troubleshoot it there. When I called about a problem they were very helpful.

My Winegard antenna did fail and had to be replaced. At the time I thought it failed because I was parked near an antenna farm at Dallas, but it was just old age and corrosion on the circuit board inside the antenna head. You might try a set of rabbit ears in place of the antenna to see if that is the problem.
