Satellite Receiver Hookup
Tom a simple diagram would be great. I have had trouble with the BB
switch to work with my sat. Set up. Thanks Jack Jones East Tn 87 PT 40 WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, Tom Warner > > In my 1985 PT 40 setup (was the same for my 1982 FC35) there is a > switch with two positions in the small upper bin that houses the > switch and amplifiers and two AC receptacles. One input to the switch > is from the outside cable TV input that is in the drivers side rear > compartment where the AC inputs are. The other input is from the > overhead TV antenna. I installed a new satellite antenna and ran the > two output cables and control cable from it thru a new cable entrance > I installed near the goat rail into the inside overhead bin.
