We have a king-dome in motion and a HD winegard traveler. When on the road the family uses the King Dome so I have to switch input cables from the applicable dish to the receiver. If I fail to do this I have to pull over to get the TV going. My question is does someone make a switch that I can select A input or B input without unscrewing the cable?

Thanks Tincup. I didn't want to install something that might screw up the system.

GOOGLE: Antenna Switch.. You will find an RCA VH-71 switch for, as I recall, a dollar in the google store (Plus s&h)

That will do it

A goes to the roof, up "Above"
B to the Bulkhed or Basement connector or ground Block down B-elow

The remaining connector to the sat receiver.

Have 2 of 'em in my rig

Other stores, including "Brick and Mortar" TV places and "The Shack" have much the same swich for more money.

Switches for this are very common.
