Actually, the existing physical coax and the antenna booster amplifier in the camper work fine with the satellite connection. However, the coax cable needs to be re-routed (at the back of the antenna booster amp plate) around the antenna booster amp - in a manner that leaves the antenna booster amp functional when needed. In the original coax wiring configuration, the antenna booster amp blocks the transmission of satellite signals. Re-routing the coax cable is the first mod. Notice the second coax connection plate in the picture of my previous post. The provides a coax jumper and second splitter to get the satellite signal to the bedroom television and the television in the outside/basement storage area.

The second mod replaces the original coax splitter with a newer one (Lowes/Home Depot/Radio Shack) that is compatible with satellite signals (higher frequency).

These mods a) keep the antenna booster amp functional and usefull when using the original antenna; b) keep the CG "cable" capability functional and usefl; and make the satellite dish functional and useful for all televisions in the camper.

Note: ONLY the coax cable behind the antenna booster amp is re-routed. The remaining original coax cables throughout the entire camper are left in place; and no new coax cable needs to be run. Also, the original Satellite/Cable connection points are maintained and remain functional.

This is a good clean mod with minimum expense and effort.

The only downside to the entire system is that the Dish Tailgater is a single receiver system and all televisions will be on the same channel as the main television where the Dish receiver is connected. I am in the process of resolving this issue as well - later post.
