Hi
Trying to hook up my satellite wires or cable in front up by my tv.
I have a cable hookup in the back along with my phone jack, the only thing I can find up front is a cable for my regular tv antenna, and also there is a cover that says (conduit & 12v. wiring for satellite prep). When I take the cover off, all is there is three wires about 16 or 18 gauge wire, two are together and a seperate green one.

Any ideas????????????????

Welcome to the forum. Sorry, but I doubt that anyone will be able to offer much help without even knowing what brand model year you are working with. Lots of help is available if you provide the info required to help......

I can offer that our rig has the sat/cable co-ax line in the lefthand compartment opposite all the other wires in the right hand compartment overhead.

If you can get a photo of it, it may help.


4 whopping cylinders on Toyota RV's. Talk about great getting good MPG. Also I have a very light foot on the pedal. I followed some MPG advice on Livingpress.com and I now get 22 MPG! Not bad for a home on wheels.

a lot of Class A units have a main controll switching switch box.The cable in,sat in,dvd in etc go in this switch and one cable comes out to the TV,s.You switch this box when u want to switch from cable to sat and vice versa etc.
