I have a somewhat "new to me" 2017 Discovery 37R. It is equipped with a Winegard Roadtrip D4, in-motion satilite dome with two incoming (through the roof) coax cables.
One coax comes into the same upper cabinet that the switch for the dome is in. I expected to find a second cable, but it's not there. I checked behind the fireplace below the flat screen, and it's not there either. The entertainment cabinet below the TV in the bedroom was another place I looked for the second cable with no success. The coax there is connected to the flat screen, and it seems show what's on over the air channels. There is no other coaxial cable in that cabinet that I would have thought came from the dome to connect to a satilite receiver. Is it possible the coax there is using a diplexer? Or does the single coax carry over the air stations and campground cable hookups as well. At one time I was skilled at this sort of thing, but very confused on this now. Can anyone, especially Discovery owners, give me any enlightenment into this situation?

My second cable went to bedroom tv.
