I can confirm the cable and air reach the master bedroom where the power booster is located. So I believe that somewhere in the bundle of cables that travel with the slide, the cables have been disconnected or damaged. It is possible that a cable splitter has developed a problem, I suppose. Additionally, we do not have Key TV.
So does anyone else have experience with this? Is there a common point of failure? How difficult is it to access the cable bundle that travels with the slide? Any comments?

Where did you check the cable? If you pulled the antenna booster from the wall and checked it from there to the TV outlet then my guess would be the cable has broken from flexing with the slide. Remove the cable outlets and booster plate and see if you can pull the coax out of the hole. If there's a splitter is should be accesible that way.
I doubt that all the cables in the slide failed simultaneously but rather one at a time and if you were only using the one cable that's when you found that all of them were defective. If you had no reason to use the other cables then you have no way of knowing when they failed.
Good luck with your search.
