Cable eas gone!

Hi - I had to return my 2021 GT 25FBT for service because the satellite cable fell back into the wall. It has to be fished out and the dealer said that this was common.
Good luck!

Wow!

One idea to resolve this - replace the whole thing with a Smart Plug cord and receiver. Expensive - yes. Worth it? For me and my new 2021 Airstream it was definitely worth it! I changed it all...

That sounds like the exact solution needed! I wonder if I could do this myself? How can you run the optical from the TV? I suppose I could duct tape it to the wall, LOL.
