Signal just could not pass through. We traced and checked/repaired each connection. Because we have 5 TV's and a most inefficient cable run layout we added an additional TV signal booster for the cable TV feed only, and replaced the cheap cable splitters Thor used with much better ones. Voila, awesome picture over the air and thru cable.

And yes, our TV's (replaced all the Seiki's with Samsung WiFi smart TV's purchased on Black Friday deals) may have slightly different channel reception due to tuner strength, signal strength coming into the MH, and and how the cable is routed thru the MH. Only a few channels different though.
Thank you for the information. I can't believe it took us so long to figure out that the snowy cable was not normal. (this is our first RV). I think you may be right that we have multiple issues. I'm not sure we know how to trace and replace the connectors and it sounds pretty expensive to have someone do it.
