The bedroom TV I just run off of the antenna. Hope this helps.

Glad you got it working, I have plans to get some form of antenna/receivers and either Dish or Directv for the Raptor. Thought I read that the tailgater connects to the receiver using RG6 coaxial cable. Is G8 cable a typo?
You did not specify the year of you Springdale. Thought at least in the last ten years video cable used was RG6 coaxial. Prior to that RG59 was used. RG6 being a higher quality cable. Unless your Springdale is very old I would expect it to be wired with RG6 and should have worked. Unless your rig had only one coaxial connector outside, in that case that line went to the antenna, your coaxial connector(s) inside and if a powered antenna a booster amp. I can see that not working. Adding another coaxial connector outside and a separate cable connected to it and the receives solves the problem
Just trying to learn, if you get a chance respond back
