On Airstreams built in the 90"s I don't think Airstream built in the ability to connect an external satellite antenna...Mine is a 1999 and I had to put one in myself....
What Airstream DID install was a jack with a switch that turns on a led (light ) to show that the antenna amplifier for the rooftop antenna on top of the trailer had power and was turned on...
This is ONLY for the roof top antenna and is not used for the satellite connections...unless there is a DIFFERENT jack with two cable outlets and a small jumper cable on it, your trailer is not wired for satellite..
I have seen this seperate wall plate with jumpers underneath the dining table on the wall...it may also be on the wall next to where the front TV set is. This is the jumper that must be removed and the satellite receiver connected thru these jacks as outlined in my earlier posts...
