We just purchased a 2018 6280. This model has an external jack for cable/satellite TV. Inside there are 2 jacks - one for antenna and another for cable/satellite. I would have thought that the external jack would connect to the cable/satellite internal jack. I was hoping that with this configuration that I could hook my tailgater to the external connection to the cable/satellite internal jack and bypass the splitters but I guess I can't so I have to run the tailgater wire thru the window.

While I was at an RV park with cable, I connected the cable to the external port and had to use the antenna internal port (with the amplifier turned off) to get the TV to work. If I connected to the internal cable / satellite port I did not get any channels.

Am I missing something here, or did they wire this wrong?
