I am putting a DTV setup in our 10 year old RV. The RV came with a video selector box that was used to direct the cable in, ant in, DVD, and DSS satellite signals to both inside TVs and I am trying to alleviate that selector box with this new install. The main issue I'm running across is there is only one coax cable from the front AV cabinet to the rear tv and I am trying to get around running a second cable to the back. Both TVs have been updated to flat screens with multiple HDMI inputs plus the normal coax input.
The issue is because the RV will mainly use DTV, but at times will also use OTA signal in, and cable in (at some campgrounds) I'd like to find a way to permanently configure the wires to send the signals for all of those through the one coax to the rear tv. A member here that I know from elsewhere mentioned the AM21 and thought it might help and that led me to this place...which looks like a wealth of info btw.
I have already installed the Winegard slimline trav'lr and have it operational, the control box and power inserter are in the AV cabinet beside the front tv where the main DTV receiver will go as well. On the other side of the TV is where the selector box is now and basically the home run area of all of the coax in the RV. The 2 new DTV Genie boxes will be here for me to install tomorrow (not sure exactly which boxes I'm getting).
Can anyone steer me in the right direction to be able to have the coax to the back tv carry the DTV, OTA, and cable in signals without having to make connection changes depending on which source? Would one or two AM21s help with this arrangement? The OTA antenna on the RV is a powered winegard batwing which I'll probably add the sensor Pro to as well soon for better UHF channel reception.
Thanks...
