Satellite Receiver Hookup

[jqrjr]

Bill,

I installed a in motion satellite reciever in my 88 WBWL XXV. I have
a cabinet on the starboard side abovr the dinette that housed my
controller for the over air TV reception. I located all controls in
that cabinet, including the direct tv control box (rf model) All out
feeds via coax go into a switch box that then feed one of three tv's
and a vcr.

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.
