Flagstaff Satellite Wiring

Anyone know how the 2014 flagstaffs are setup (wiring) for satellite?

Are they setup with correct splitters for the three TV?

I looked at the Features sheet for your RV and it looks like you have a single input shared for Cable or Sat. So the first important question is whether you're talking about Dish or DirectTV.

With Dish, no splitters allowed unless you have a Hopper/Joey setup.

With DirecTV and SWM technology, if you put your power inserter outside, you might be able to use the wiring/splitters that are there, but probably not. Hopefully some Flagstaff owners can relate their experiences.

We have Dish at home and use splitters and also in the 5er. Just means that the TV's on the splitters have to watch the same channel if they are both on at the same time.

Speaking for my 2014 Flagstaff, the answers are Yes and Yes, resp. Satellite is routed to the Living Room TV only. The correct splitters send the antenna and cable inputs to both TVs.
