Satellite TV question for 2018 RW 427

Alright I hooked up the Pathway 2 to the Wally (direct) and had it working good. Went to hook up using UDC and can not get it to work. What I found after I pulled the tv and back board off is the cable coming in is gray. Pulled the UDC connection and the cable is orange. So I am thinking there is a splice or splitter in line somewhere.
Before I hooked up tried trace wires using a
Klein Tools VDV512-058 Coax Explorer Plus Tester. The line to the bedroom was okay. The line to the living room tv showed open. Could there be a splitter in the line and it was not hooked up? How hard will it be to run a new line from UDC to living room?
Any thoughts were the splitter might be located to see if it is unhooked before I try to pull a new line?

Any help will be greatly appreciated

If the TV is in a slide, I would look underneath the slide and find the coax, there is a connector under the trailer right inside the underbelly. Out of my three Heartlands two of them had bad connections at that point.

No not yet. The Road Warrior is at Affinity RV getting repairs done at this time. When we get it back I will need to get under and try to trace the wire to find the splitter. It is probably something as simple as not being hooked up.

Thanks for the diagram. When I get the Road Warrior back and it warms up I am going to rewire it for a straight run without any connectors in line.
