Antenna amp is off. Cable works when plugged directly to tv but tv will not find cable channels when cable is hooked to the main inlet port on coach.

Unfortunately it sounds as if your amp is bad. You will need to pull it and also the splitter to check cable connections. You can buy a coax continuity checker at Home Depot for $10-$20. I found the short cable from the amp to the splitter in my coach was bad. (My splitter was behind the microwave).

If you are getting shocked (tingling, not burning) it is not from your amp unless someone connected AC voltage to the amp instead of DC voltage, which of course, would explain all your problems. If you have 12 VDC going to your amp as required, switch your voltmeter to AC measurement and see whay you get. You could have a problem with your converter not properly rectifying/filtering the 120 VAC to 12 VDC, which could also be the source of your problems.

The amp is actually in the head of the batwing antenna, but generally when we say "amp" we are talking about the circuit board with the on/off switch, LED, 12 volt, and coax connections.

Ok. I値l check what power I have on there tomorrow morning. But just to be clear. This is the coax stub, male end, that also has the light/switch for the antenna booster?

Not sure what wire you are talking about. There should be 2 wires to measure 12 VDC:

You should have 12-15 VDC on the red (+) to white (-) wire and almost no AC. If that is not the source of your "tingle" then remove the coax cables and measure AC voltage from center conductor to outer shield. Someone may have run a screw through a 120 VAC line and coax line.

Main TV will scan ok for cable channels but, rear tv will only scan sometimes, outside tv will not scan at all. Any ideas? is there a way to check to see if conections are bad. If I connect cable directly to outside tv, it works perfectly. Bad Splitter???

Loose connections at the splitter or the Power Injector.
Some power injector only have two TV out connections. In that case Thor installs a splitter to go to the bedroom and outside TV on the second PI connection.

Thanks, I checked the HDMI cables and they seem to be securely attached, the power splitter has one input and four outputs. But only has two HDMI cables plugged in to outputs.-

HDMI has nothing to do with CATV.
A "Power Splitter" has nothing to do with CATV.
The little button you push to turn off the OTA Amp is connected to a Power Injector. This sends 12 VDC to the amplifier in the OTA TV Antenna.
It has 12 VDC in, CATV in, OTA Antenna connection and two or more COAX cables out to TVs.
