My cover broke off when I picked it up from the dealer brand new, flimsy plastic. Taking back to the dealer for multiple issues including this one. ]]> Mon, 09 Feb 2015 13:55:21 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5778&PID=56502#56502 cable tv connector : Ok, it may just have a couple... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5778&PID=56403#56403 Author: Podster

Ok, it may just have a couple of screws in the face of the plate, if so, after removing them it should pull right out...you may have to work at it some if there is some sort of sealant between the plug plate and the wall of the POD. The most critical part of this DIY job is to make sure, when you re-install the plate that you seal the plate to the wall so rain doesn't penetrate the wall by getting behind. Good luck!]]> Fri, 06 Feb 2015 21:41:25 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5778&PID=56403#56403 cable tv connector : I'll let you know how my... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5778&PID=56402#56402 Author: geelse

Dang, broken cover...shoot!  Well, my POD is in storage so I can't inspect it, but is should be pretty straight forward. 

Any chance you can post a pic?

Is there any way to replace just the cover without getting into replacing the entire plate? 

I think the key here is understanding how it is attached to the wall of the POD.  It could be held on by wing tabs or it could be pressed into sealant or both. The challenging part of this job is getting it off there. Once you have it removed all you should find on the inside is the 1 or 2 cable (RG6) connection(s) screwed to the back. So at that point its just probably a 7/16 wrench to disconnect then then reconnect to the new place. 

Does anybody out there know how the outside service plates are attached to the POD?

Anyway I would say once you understand how they are affixed, this is certainly a DYI project. There is no power or critical components to contend with. The connections there are simply an access and feed-point to connect services that run via cable up to the HDTV plate inside the POD.

Good luck, come on back and let us know how it turns out!

Should be very easy.  The wiring behind will unscrew from the terminals.]]> Thu, 05 Feb 2015 19:08:17 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5778&PID=56383#56383 cable tv connector : Rpod 177 - 2013.Outside cable... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=5778&PID=56379#56379 Author: geelse

Rpod 177 - 2013.

Outside cable connector fixture, cover broke off, temp fix has been tape. Is replacing whole fixture an easy job or do I call in the pros? I do not use the satellite connector so no problem there. Thanks.
