2006 Carver 36MY TV cable question
Both TV's each have 1byone flat panel TV Antenna's attached, with coax cable undone. There is a "cable box" connection under the swim step stairs. There is also an Omni direction TV antenna on the arch, same area as GPS/Radar dome, installed by first owner.
We would like to be able to use a dockside cable TV hookup, but I'm wondering about this TV antenna on the arch? is it a factory option?
Ideally we'd like a splitter to select cable or antenna, but realize that it must be upstream of a splitter for both TV's.
My question is the factory location of the splitter to both TV's from the cable connection under the stairs?
my other question is access to the "inside" of the salon TV cubby, as it appears the gray cloth behind the TV is glued on?
do most folks undue the DC panel to get better access into this cubby area? such as accessing the rear of CMD4 stereo?
as always, and insight is appreciated!

That's why I have the converter box. It's hooked to the cable that comes from the antenna then connected to the TV. It will not work by itself. I tried it first then connected the converter box to the antenna cable to make it work. I pick up about 25 or so channels where I am located.

Good to know, I'll start looking there, thanks

Maybe you already have it? Under the protective cover where your shore power is you may have one marked telephone/cable.
Thanks, I'll check for this switch and ohm out the connection next to the shore power connection, so I know which is which.
Thanks for the insight, as always, it is much appreciated!
