Cable connections

I have a used 2003 Tiffin Allegro 36OP Bus. It has no update that I can see. It still has the surround system, vcr and control box for all tv controls. In the bin by the door there is connection for 12v and cable and another for phone and in my electrical bin on driver side there is a connection for phone and cable connection. Question is what are the cable connection for? Is both for rv park cable connection or one for outside mobile antenna connection? It also has a King Dome on the roof, but no receiver box so I'm not sure which it's for, DirectTv or Dish. Still trying to figure out the cables I found and what they all control and to add to the confusion all of a sudden the King Dome started up searching and won't shut off. I turn it off and then in a few minuets it comes back on, I do have off now with a little fix, but not right. Any help on any of this stuff thanks.

The cable connection is for park cable. If that year has a "Tripod" connection then that is for a carryout satellite antenna. You can't use a satellite antenna on a cable connection without a modification bypassing the splitter.

As for the King Dome, you will probably have to pull the cover and see if it is set for DirecTV or Dish. The serial number may give you information on how old it is and you can look up info on the Kind Domes. If it's set for Dish and is made prior to 2013, then it is probably obsolete. If it's original to the coach, then it's probably obsolete for either.

Agree, you might want to consider installing a Winegard Traveler.
