Satellite remote access on outside.
Well, thanks everyone. I could tell by the tone of the comments I would have to pull away the wall.
What I found was white and orange coax, a "T" or splitter and a shorted F-connector (braid to center on one of the screw-on F's).
So, after stretching the wire, I found the orange comes from the outside, splits one side to the bedroom, the other side to the entertainment center (thats where the short was ... sloppy job of stripping and attaching connector) and goes to the 2 bottom F-connector female sockets.
The bottom jack is the one that feeds the TV, so there is where I connect my satellite box output coax. The top female is a short run to the Winegard antenna/amplifier, [and the short U-shaped coax completes the circuit from the Winegard to the TV.]
So, when using SAT input, OFF comes the U-coax, and I jack into the bottom connector. When using the off-air antenna, ON goes the U-coax.
It was the shorted cable that did me in.
