Title: TV cable to roof
Post by: MrIrishSam on June 21, 2015, 06:29:56 pm
After doing quite a bit of troubleshooting,  I think I have a bad coax cable to Antenna.  The antenna is fine,  I am Using a Wineguard Sensor Pro and get wonderful reception running coax out the drivers side window to the antenna.  Did some troubleshooting and found I have a discontinuity with the coax going to the roof.  I checked the cable in connection similarly and was able to establish I had contiunity.  Any Suggestions? Replace that piece of coax? I have a 2002 U295.  Also to get access to behind the front TV do I need to remove the header board on the ceiling behind the TV?

I believe that you will find that the thru fitting on the roof may be the culprit.  Take the cable off , clean up fitting and run NEW cable from fitting to antennae.  I had to replace entire fitting once, remove screws , take fitting off roof after disconnecting coax both inside and outside, radio shack had a replacement if needed. Use generous amount of sealant to reinstall fitting.
