Satellite Receiver Hookup

[Richard Hayden]

If I understand your questions, the answer to both is NO. Go from your new sat.
stuff directly to the tv. If you are using the orig tv you might have to
install a switching box. If a new tv, I'm sure it has several inputs so the sat
will go to one of them. There are a lot of other things going on in the orig.
setup that aren't obvious, such as splitters for instance. And besides, you'll
want the latest low loss cable for the sat.

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!
