Isata 3 - Outside TV Hook-up

[jneum525]

Perhaps discussed previously but couldn't find anything on this with a search...

I haven't had the opportunity yet to mount the bedroom TV outside but thinking of doing so and it got me thinking.
Have the following questions:

1) Where does the signal come from that goes to the Coax port outside?

I don't have a matrix in my '17 FW and recently set up a Dish Wally with an HDMI splitter that connects to the front and back tv so we have HD at both TV's. Works great. Not sure how/where the Coax port outside would get it's signal from.

2) If the Coax port actually is connected somehow, I am assuming it would just be SD?

3) Has anyone else tried using a long HDMI cable or wireless HDMI to connect to the bedroom TV when it is mounted outside?

It would be nice to have HD on the TV mounted outside. Thinking of getting a long HDMI cable that I can just string temporarily from the splitter (that goes to the Wally) to the outside TV, while using it. I guess a wireless HDMI might work, but never had much luck with those.

As always, Thanks All...

Thanks Brian. So if the rv was connected to the outside coax port it would just be for watching OTA broadcast?

correct

correct

Thank You Brian!!!

I'm just an outsider looking in but an OTA antenna only has one coax output and it typically goes to a Winegard booster panel for distribution. If a matrix is not installed the Winegard booster panel outputs typically goes to a splitter for TV (dependent upon how many) interconnects. Seems like the outside TV should at least get OTA and park cable inputs like the inside TV's. The Wally does have an RCA output and a modulator will change it to a coax for sat SD if an HDMI cable cannot be routed to the outside TV. Could be wrong.

Thanks. In my case, I am only looking to use the outside TV w my T4 Sat/Wally in HD and so will be picking up a long HDMI cable.

Understand. Really was just trying to remark that the outside TV coax would deliver not just OTA TV but possibly deliver park cable also as is typically done. Sounds like you have a plan.
