Replacment Switch for TV reception
Ours was located under the stairs entering the salon. I think its part of the package with the Shakespeare Amplified TV antenna. Ours failed to OHM out and wouldn't allow the cable connection or TV connection to pass thru on either setting.
For now we bypassed it, feed the comcast cable box directly to salon HDMI TV input, with a 1by_one flat panel TV antenna that works really well for its size.
I would like to get it wired back to factory specs, even if it means bypassing the arch antenna in favor of the 1by_one version.

And also verify your power supply is on to the Shakespeare. Do away with the a/b switch and then just change sources on the tv like your doing. The Shakespeare could be bad or if no power to it could be the problem. If it s bad mount your new 1 by one if it's doing a good job for you. Sorry for the long posts
yes verified power, however the switch is bad, won't ohm out a pass thru for either selection, therefor blocks both arch antenna signal or the cable signal.
obviously bypassing works, but wanted to know if anyone has replaced theirs, if so, what did they use? where id they get it?
I'm unable to find just the switch on it's own.
thanks
