Cable/satellite issues

[Remanasco]

We have a 2019 palomino solaire and we have a cable/satellite in on the back of camper. Then we have a coax at den tv, bedroom tv and outside for outside watching. We have a directv satellite on tripod with cable run to the back. How can we watch it on all three at same time?

Probably can't, satellite signals don't like splitters. Best case would be separate cable runs. Dish told me they recommend running a coax directly from the receiver to the satellite. I drilled a hole through the raised "shelf" area next to the bed from the front storage compartment. Then ran two cables from the receivers (about 3 feet away) into the storage compartment out to my dish which has two outputs.

what RECEIVER do you have? If it has a 'TV OUT' on the back, you can run that to an additional TV to view the same thing that you are viewing on the main TV, which gets it's feed via the HDMI out from the receiver. The second TV will only see channels in SD, though, but you can even use a splitter to send that same signal to another tv, etc, or even send the additional signal to your 'box of many buttons' input to watch it on other TVs... you'll have to change the channels, though, from the Main receiver, wherever it sits.

for portable antennas with dual outputs, such as our KingTailgater2, you can send the signal to both a MAIN receiver, and a SECONDARY receiver.
The Main can see all the channels from all the satellites, but the Secondary will only see channels from the satellite the Main was tuned to at the time you went thru the 'acquire satellites' setup on the secondary.
A little confusing, but the HD channels are in HD for both, and the secondary can still switch 'channels', just not satellites.

with Satellite, each TV 'has' to have a receiver - it unscrambles the 'signal' from the satellite antenna for the TV.

you can get around that with some creative wiring, such as I explained above... we have done this in several situations where our boys wanted to watch satellite channels while in their bunks, each with a separate TV, but pulling the signal from the Receiver and TV in the living room. The TV OUT on the receiver is what allows the additional viewing choices.

because the antenna gets it's power from the coax cable, from the receiver, it can't use typical 'splitters' that are found in almost every RV manufactured. It's the one 'drawback' unless you have separate feeds and receivers for each TV.

i use a HDMI splitter coming right out of the box sends same signal to both tv's. works fine,
