Hello,
I am trying to help my dad out with his satellite set up on his rv. He has this one I think:
[FONT=verdana,helvetica,sans-serif]DIRECTV Five LNB Ka/Ku Slim Line Dish Antenna for MPEG-4 C HD Programming (AU9-S)[/FONT]
All you do is push a button and the thing raises up and finds the satellites itself, it's really awesome.
Anyways.
He has 2 Coax coming into the rv. They both come into the rv by the FRONT TV.
The rv has 2 TVs.
So on the front tv, we have one of the satellite feeds going to a directv h23 receiver (i think thats the right model). Everything works fine.
So he wants directv on the back TV also. Which is the bedroom. (He is just going to grab a receiver out of his house everytime they use the rv and just put it in the bedroom.
There is only one coax that i know of that runs from the front tv area where the second satellite coax comes in and then runs back to the back bedroom tv. It is being used for an off air hd antenna and i think cable too. I unplugged it from the off air antenna/cable splitter and used an f-connector or coax coupler to send the directv signal back to the bedroom. Hooked a box up, and it works.
My dad for some dumb reason wants to be able to have off-air/cable programming AND directv though.
I think because sometimes in some rv parks the trees block the signal.
How do i do this.
I thought about diplexers, but then read something about them not working with HD, i dont know.
HOWEVER.
I would also like to know if there would be a simpler way to do this if we didn't have a receiver in the bedroom. or a second receiver at all.
I think he would be ok with just using the front box some how mirrored to the back tv.
He can use the rf remote from the room and i think it will work.
Any help would be awesome.
Just to make it clear though, there is only one coax that i know going from where the satellite is to the bedroom tv.
The people at camping world totally screwed the job up. They installed the satellite in the wrong spot, (there were already all the right wires going everywhere, where it was supposed to be installed, he even told them that), but now my dad doesnt want them fixing it, because they would have to drill more holes in the roof of the rv.
Thanks
