Linking all Tv's to dvd player

Hello everyone,
I have a Fuzion 371.
Has anyone found a simple way to link all the tv's up to the dvd player in the main entertainment center?

I wondered the same thing. My only solution would be to run an HDMI or RCA cable throughout the camper. That was quickly squashed as I was not going to undertake that project. I think separate DVD players would be easier.

You could do it with wireless transmitter and receivers. Not cheap but doable.

And Welcome to the forum!

Would it be possible to run a coax from the DVD player to the input on the "duplex box" (the place where the jumper coax is located) and then turn off the antenna booster? If the satellite processor box signal can be fed from that point to all the TV's, it seems that the DVD player output should be able to follow the same path. Just thinking out loud, it may not work, but I'd give it a try.

We bought a DVD player for about $30 and can connect it to any tv and felt this was the easiest thing for us. We even connect it to the main tv as there are no speakers in the bed room and when we turn the tv to the bedroom, we did not have sound.

Thank you all for the responses! I thought the same thing to link the coax together would be a great idea... down fall is that the tv or dvd does not have a coax outlet to run to the duplex box. So you would have to switch the rca or hdmi signal to an analog signal for coax, by the time you by the equipment for that.... you could have bought 2 cheap dvd players.

Sounds like I will be buying 2 dvd players. I have read this all over this forum that when you pay 60k for a rv you think it would have features like this already installed!

Separate DVD players best bet and won't cost much at all

Why two DVD players? I have a raptor. It has one DVD in the main entertainment center. A built in DVD in the garage TV. I just added one in the bedroom...
