TV in cargo bay

[grtharris]

Tazz6, OK I think I understand were you are at. One way to get the living room satellite receiver output to the ext. TV without using another receiver is with a HDMI splitter and HDMI Converter to composite video. Then connect to the RCA cable going to the ext TV from the sound bar area.
Another note; I believe the cables from the roof satellite dish connect to the main cables in the front overhead on the passenger side behind a panel.

grtharris,

Tried to put separate receiver in cargo bay and still no signal.
Winnebago wrote me back and said I wouldn't need a receiver in bay. They said orange cable runs all TV's. Their diagram doesn't make any sense to me.

Tazz6, see if this helps. There should be 4 coaxes coming from the Sat Dish with orange bands. With the Dish Network setup the coaxes from the Sat Dish are just coupled to the coaxes running to the coach. Org and Org-2 go to the Sat plate next to the main TV, Org-3 goes to the bedroom Sat plate and Org-4 goes to the ext. tv Sat plate. I believe the connections from Sat to Coach cables takes place in the overheard on the passenger side behind a panel. Check there to see if they were all connected.

Tazz6, was looking at the pictures of the backs of Dish's receivers and they all have composite video output jacks. If you can find the end of the composite video cable going to the ext TV connect it to the sat receiver and you will get that signal at the ext TV.

I have a Sunova with a Satellite dish and external TV which should be similar. If you have regular TV playing on the external TV then you should be able to go to the controller box and select SAT for the external TV and then go to that TV and go to setup and select Satellite and do a channel search you will get one channel (3 or 4) and you should have the Satellite channel. As you would for Antenna or Cable you have to select Satellite to see the channels. On my unit the Dish box is hooked to HDMI cable to the main TV and for the bedroom and outside I had to connect Coax from the Dish Box output to the Satellite In connection which allows the Satellite signal go through the same Coax as used for over the air and cable stations (in the bedroom I have the option of adding a second box directly to the TV). Then I purchased an UHF adapter for the Dish box so I can change channels from the bedroom and outside without having to have line of sight to the Dish box as with the IR controller.

I just got tv to work in cargo bay. Found red,yellow and black rga cable hid behind tv. Now the problem is I have 480i signal, no HD tv. Any ideas now?
