Satellite Prep/Cable

[christie1993]

We just purchased a 2010 Raptor 361LEV. We have two cable inlets on the outside of the camper near all the hook ups, one for satellite prep and one for cable. Behind the main living area TV there are two outlets, Im assuming one for cable and one for satellite (please correct me if Im wrong). However, the bedroom, garage, loft and outside near door only has one outlet. Does this mean we can only have satellite in the living area and all others areas just have cable? If not then how would I be able to get satellite in the other areas other than the main living area? We have direct tv which means we have to have a box for every TV on which we want to be able to watch satellite. Thanks.

I think the cost of a box for each tv is why all are only wired for cable ... but you should be able to split the signal from the box and back-feed through the cable outlet to the other rooms .... but all will be on the same channel. If you wish to have boxes on all I don't know if the satellite feed can be split before the first box. I also do not know if the over the air amplifier will give problems so I would be sure it was switched off and remove the fuse. ..... Sounds to me like a good experiment for a football weekend at home.

Don't know if they would have changed this or not, but I have a 2008 3602RL. All 3 Tv's have a seperate cable for the sat. They are marked by a grey wire coming out of the connection. The other cables are black. Don't remember if the outside connection on awning side has both cables or not.

You can split the signal but only after the box. What ever TV you split to will have the same programming as the box.
