Pulling my hair out talking to India!!!!!!!

I have to say that your discription confuses me. Most RVs come with a I/O box between the the various inputs, ie, cable, antenna, DVD/VCR and the TV. There are several inputs and only one output per TV. There are several buttons on the face of the I/O box to select what input is connected to what TV. If this is what youare calling a cable box in the coach then it is simple to hook up, if you have a cable box (DVR usually)in the coach and somehow connected to the cable box in your house I don't know what you need to do. We have two TVs in our rig, both flat panels, one requires that you select the type of input you have the other selects whatever is active. In our case the front TV never has to be changed because it is always connected to the I/O box and the DVD is internal and the rear TV automatically selects either the coax input or the separate DVD player. No cable boxes required.

Do I also have to disconnect the cable box from the television itself if we are just going to use the all in one DVD player on the television?
There is no television reception where we are going, so it will be DVD's only.

Why don't you just try it out and see what happens? You could have found out in less time than you were on hold and talked to India.

You will have an "output" on your DVD player. Just find a compatible "input" on the TV. A problem may come up if your output on your DVD player is an HDMI output and your TVis an older model that does not have an HDMI input. If it is coax to coax, it is a simple connection to make.

Rather than talk to India..I experiment when I have tech questions/issues.

Do one thing at a time and make notes - mark wires with tape, etc and see what happens.
This way you can reverse what you did and try something else until you get the results you want.

I agree - sometimes talking to 'tech' supports in a foreign language.....well- not so helpful.

Well just take it and try it. What's the worst that can happen?

Probably not. How is your DVD player connected now?
May e its time to think about upgrading to satellite TV service
