To hang a TV? Small 22". I would assume this is the same Winegard antenne.

If the TV backer is located on an interior wall, the backing material is plywood. You can typically use a stud finder to thump the wall to locate the perimeter of the backer.

I hung a 32” in my 2250RK BR at what appears to be the same location in your pic. Highly recommend to not exceed 3/4” screws. I would imagine for a 22” TV that 1/2” would work fine but that’s only a guess on my part.

Yes sir, Use a strong magnet and you should be able to accurately locate the location and size of the panel. A word of caution though. It is just sheet metal. You don't want to over-tighten the screws or you could strip out the sheet metal.

I'll repeat the advice in the linked thread.
Wrap a piece of plywood in felt (to make it look nice) and secure it with 6 screws across the entire plate, and then put the TV Bracket onto the plywood. This will better distribute the weight across the metal plate.Mike
