Greetings to the group. Our 5th wheel has the Keystone exclusive KEY TV system which I believe is a Home-run wiring system with incorporated antenna booster. For this post, I am having the same issue with both "Over the Air" Antenna and "Park Cable" feeds. TV in the living room and bedroom work excellent, but when a TV is hooked up the the basement TV outlet the signal is extremely weak and grainy, almost to the point where you can't make out what's on the screen. I have tried this using both the bedroom TV and a third TV I own for camping with the same result. For test purposes, I ran a coax cable from the "Park Cable" directly to the third TV and the signal was excellent, so the problem is in the wiring of the trailer. Has anyone in the group experienced this before? I prefer to handle this on my own if you know what I mean. Not super confident with my dealer touching my wires.

You’re lucky. Nothing on mine works. And keystone offers nothing

What is your dealer saying? He is the first person that needs to be running interference with your issue.

That they simply no nothing about the System. Starting over tomorrow but I don’t expect anything new.

There are only a few screws on the KeyTV panel.

Take the panel off. Look to see if it is wired properly ?

Possible that it's not even connected. From the diagram, looks like it should be connection 3 or 4.

Good luck.

That reminds me I should do the same - I have not tried the basement connection yet... even though I plan on using it for streaming mostly.

Thanks GeekSquadofUn. You're right, it can't hurt to do some checking around. I really like that the need for splitters and AB boxes have been eliminated. Still not sure how the KeyTV system knows the difference between two sources on one connection. I just want everything to work as intended. I am currently not using a satellite TV service, but that appears to be running on it's own circuit on KeyTV. I do have a King Quest dome dish I can try as well, perhaps for next year. I have to say that I love the layout of the 315RLS and I particularly like the TVs that were provided.
