Satellite Receiver Hookup
I wired from the satellite to the Direct TV receiver..from the DTV
receiver to a new splitter with gain control...from the splitter to the 3 TVs (rear, forward, bay). Works great. The old BB stuff gave a fuzzy picture.

Tom a simple diagram would be great. I have had trouble with the BB
switch to work with my sat. Set up.

Satellite Receiver Hookup
Jack the switch itself is very simple with two inputs , one from the
rear cable tv line coming from the same small compartment that the shore line power receptacles are housed, the other from your rooftop TV antenna. The output of the switch goes to the amplifiers etc and then to each wall outlet for your tv, one near the passenger side wall in front, one to the front backup/tv monitor and the other to the rear bedroom. I dont use the one from the rear cable tv input so removed the connector from the switch and connected the new cable running from the satellite receiver to it. tom At 05:32 PM 2/7/2007, you wrote: >Tom a simple diagram would be great.

Satellite Receiver Hookup
Tom,
Go to Radio shack get a switch box that can handle multiple inputs/outputs. Inputs to switch box from each source (Satellite,Cable,over air dish) would be as if they were going to tv. Instead they will go out by coax to switch box. Outputs will go to each set or vcr from the box, you can use (in most cases) the old coax wiring. The switch box allows you to switch on each set between feeds. Mine has several buttons for each appliance (tv or vcr) to choose between the sources (satellite, cable, over the air dish). This is very useful if signifigant other want to watch Wheel of Fortune and you want to watch the Playboy channel. --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, Tom Warner wrote: > > Jack the switch itself is very simple with two inputs , one from the > rear cable tv line coming from the same small compartment that the > shore line power receptacles are housed, the other from your rooftop > TV antenna.

Satellite Receiver Hookup
I removed the switch box and treat the sat as if it is the prime
input. The one TV is treated asif it is the only TV and the other sets are hard wired monitors (every set is tuned to the same broadcast). Direct TV now has a air anteni input on their box. The box has input for other source of input. And you can chose for the source via the remote clicker. They also have a new box that does not require line of site and the box can be hidden. I tried to setup my 'table-top Campword Porta dish'in a RV site that had a tree blocking my automatic sat dome but the experience was not a happy one. I now use a chainsaw for those situations GregoryO'Connor 94ptRomolandCa " move it or lose it" MayorRisso'75, Greg'07 "Dont touch that Dial" NBC'85, TimV'07 --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "jqrjr" > > Tom, > > Go to Radio shack get a switch box that can handle multiple > inputs/outputs. > > > Inputs to switch box from each source (Satellite,Cable,over air dish) > would be as if they were going to tv.
