Satellite Receiver Hookup

[Leroy Eckert]

Well, I cannot tell you exactly how my coach is wired unless I go out and track
down the wires. It took me and a video guy a while to get it right. Here is
how mine works.
I have 3 TV's.

I have:
In motion Satellite Receiver box(technical name escapes me at the moment) L-3
TracVision
A-B switch in the coach.
Land line cable port (factory)
Space Ship Air Antenna installed at factory.

When my satellite receiver is on I receive satellite TV.
When I plug into cable TV, park supplied, and turn off the satellite receiver I
receive cable TV.
If I want to use the Air antenna, seldom, I switch from A to B and I receive
nearby stations over the air. Satellite TV receiver off.
In the satellite and cable configuration the switch is always in position A.

Reception is very clear in all cases.

I hope this helps you.

Hi Everyone,

I have a '87 PT40 and I am looking at adding a portable satellite
dish to my setup.

A couple of questions:

1. Can you bring the satellite signal through the cable input switch
to the satellite receiver?

2. I understand that there is power going to the dish from the
satellite receiver and that there is an issue with the amplifier for
the regular antenna which somehow do not allow the satellite and
reciever to properly communicate. If I can't go through the A C
switch in the coach can I split the cable input to the switch and
then go directly to the satellite receiver when not using a cable
setup?

Any other info is greatly appreciated!
