I have an 2020 196 and the hookup for the TV antenna is confusing. There is one pot on the outside that says satellite/cable and on the inside there are two ports, depending on which one you hookup to you either get antenna or cable/sat. The problem is you have to undo and reconnect to change from one tom the other. Has any one found a solution to this problem? In my old 179 there was only one outlet inside and it worked for both cable and antenna. Its not that big of a deal just a pain having to switch back and forth

I would just keep a short run of coax attached to both and switch them on the TV as necessary (easier than reaching up to the ceiling I would think), perhaps using one of these:

Would it work to put a splitter in?
