I am thinking at is a connection in the RV somewhere. I opened the cover in the back where the cable wire runs through and tried to separate it from the 110 V wires (thinking it might be 60 hz interference) but once again no better!
Follow up question - anyone ever replace the cable antenna power switch? I can not find this switch anywhere online. Anyone buy this switch - made by Winegard!

Had same issue in my 2014 Hurricane - varying degrees of 'snow' (not artifacts) - worse on lower channels... Then tried using high speed internet - and modem couldn't even connect...
Tried to 'tone' the line from cable connection outside to switch box input - and nothing... (the 'tone' won't pass thru a splitter - but will go thru normal connectors - there should be no splitter between the entrance and the switch box - so indicating a bad line).
The best theory we came up with is someone damaged the line buried in the wall of the coach.. A nail puncturing it would be enough per the 'cable guy' that helped me troubleshoot.
Extended service plan wouldn't cover... labor estimate was ridiculous... and I didn't feel like ripping apart the walls myself...
Temp solution I run a cable under the slide and in to the switch box once parked and set up...
Permanent solution I will be running a new line down the wall from switch box cabinet and under the RV to rear - then up behind the drawers in bedroom to original entrance point.
