2018 BK XL 40 C - HD Cat6 Matrix Signal Distribution

We are looking at a XL 40C.

I have a question for XL owners with the HD Cat6 Matrix Signal Distribution, I see the 4X4 Switch in the cabinet under the main TV, but which TVs receive signals from this box ? I assume Bedroom, Outdoor, Front, and Main, so both the bunk TVs do not receive HD signals from this box.

I also assume the HDMI wall plug next to the bunk TVs is an HDMI IN, and this is where I would plug in a source for the bunk TVs.

You are correct, the bunk TVs are not tied into the Matrix.

Thanks

Can you confirm that the 4 outputs of the matrix go to front, bedroom, outside, and main (Kitchen Slide) TVs ?

40 C - Other TV Questions

Maingler: I assume you have a 40C. I am picking up one in a few weeks. I was wondering if you had access to the wiring distribution diagrams. I want to be able to install my Direct TV Receiver in the small space on top of the fireplace (with the Matrix Switch). I also want the option of connecting that receiver to an external dish. Thinking about running some COAX from that cupboard, behind the fireplace into the floor of the slide and into the basement compartment. I am guessing there is some sort of wire harness as the 4 outputs from the matrix go out from there, as well as the 12 V power for the fireplace, and wall plugs.

I had a diagram for my Georgetown and was hoping to get my hands on one for the BerkshireXL.

Thanks Again

I dont have the electrical but if you call Forest River, Im sure they will give you the schematics. The coax from the Shore cord compartment runs to the rear of the tv booster switch. I belive all you need to do is cable into the front of the booster and select cable ilo of Antennae.
