And the out to tv on the DTV receiver to the TV. in on the DTV receiver box and the B side to the Ant. I ran the cable in the bedroom cabnet into the 'out side' of another A/B switch. Still useing only one cable running to the bedroom.

This way I can switch from satelite to anything on the selector box for the bedroom. The B side is the feed from the wingard video selector to the bedroom. Then I used two of the feeds from the 3X4 switch box to go to my directv DVR in the living room.Īnd one feed from the 3X4 switch box goes into A side of another A/B switch box for the separate standard directv receiver in the bedroom. The 3X4 switch box splits the 2 satelite feeds into up to 4 feeds. Then I have the lines that are coming from the 2 A/B switches going to a directv 3X4 switch box. But, I used another A/B switch to be able to switch between satelite and cable on my cable feed from the hookup cnter. to go the B side of the A/B switches so I can switch to a remote dish if I am parked in the trees and can't use the dome. I have both feeds from the dome going into the A side of 2 A/B switches. I too have a dome on the roof and both feeds going to the rear ent. Our Mobile Suites came with a Samsung in the living room and a set in the bedroom named Sansui and thats the one we replaced, don't know anything about the Sansui but the Samsung brand is what we are use to, we have a 46', 40',32' and now the 19'.

I very seldom use the Birdog because its so easy to set up the Direct-TV dish. He learned a lot Saturday, they were surprise at how long we had been sitting up our HDTV system and the fact that I have a Birdog and ask how I purchased it. The first installer had never worked on a RV system before. We had three Direct-Tv installers here at our place this past Saturday. The technology is now available to use just one cable to use the DVR system, if I remember correctly its name was Swim method not for sure. I will take it to a place that installs surround sound systems. If we ever buy another 5th wheel, and it will be a Drv for sure we will not get any TV's unless they are Samsung and will not get the surround sound system. We have owned 5 different 5th wheels and all have been a disaster as for as hooking up a Sattelite system (wiring).Īlso I feel that the Direct-Tv installers and the service personnel doesn't know enough about the RV systems and how they are wired. However it was run thru a spliter and most all know that you can't split the digital signal. We don't have a roof mount but we did have a single line running to the bedroom and that is what was used to get HDTV to the bedroom. I do agree the RV Industry as a whole is far behind the HDTV technology. We just received our RV in February and there are several things that have made me pause and scratch my head trying to figure out the logic of a few installations that DRV has made on my camper. The Direct TV installer commented that all other RV's that he has installed have the entertainment system wiring done much better than DRV. I'll be glad to send you the details if you send me your email address. It's a bit confusing to explain, but is not that complicated to accomplish. The Radio Shack remote control extender is plugged into the bedroom power and the other one plugged into the living room entertainment center power. I turned the second Direct TV receiver around so the living room remote control would not affect it (each remote control will operate their respective receiver). I then bought an IR extender for the bedroom remote control and connected it to the second Direct TV receiver which is also connected to the Winegard switcher. Since I wanted the ability to watch 2 different satellite channels in the living room and the bedroom, I connected the second satellite cable to another Direct TV receiver and put this one into the same living room entertainment center. One of the cables was used by connecting to the Direct TV receiver and then connecting that to the Winegard switcher. DRV terminated both satellite cables in the entertainment center of the living room.
