So,we're staring at black screens. Prolly 8 ? years ago,I bought Radio Shacks BEST 16 ft rooftop and best Amplifier? Where I live,we WERE pulling about 25? locals from 2 cities. ON AMPLIFIED RABBIT EARS!!!!! However,I have a 1999 mobile home with prewired tv thru the walls from the basement. And I know I should know what wire,I haven't looked. Assuming rg32? Anyhow,I have NEVER got a SINGLE picture thru the setup. I assumed it was in my house,from my basement to the tv somewhere. I really don't feel like going outside with a tv hookup before it comes in the house. How could I test "continuity "thru the wire from my tv down to the basement where I hookup to the outside antenna? Thanx again all,Happy and Healthy New Year to ALL! Mods ,if there's a better place for this,sorry!

Simple;

twist the wires together on one end, then use a meter at the other end to see if it shows close to zero ohms.

An infinity reading tells you that at least one of the wires is open.
