this one is getting all over... but oh well, good info for sure.
Our coach is also pre hdmi, with the recievers in front, main tv in the middle, and a bedroom tv.
Monaco ran RGB coax from over the windshield back to the TV.
I iused that coax when I put in my dish receiver to get hd on the main tv.
For the bedroom, I used the existing coax, and the sat gives me SD on the bedroom TV.
I also installed a bluray back there so we do get HD movies.
We have a hopper at home and love it. YES, it does transmit HD signals thru the houses coax to all the joeys.
If anyone has gotten a hopper to work in an RV, I would love to hear the details.
Our setup in the S&B includes a 2 lnb eastern arc dish, 2 cables into a "solo node" or something like that? and then a single coax to the main hopper receiver. The dish guys have told me the hopper won't run without a minimum of 2 eastern arc satellites, or 3 western arc birds.
Our bus's dome of course will only give it one.
Also, while it did take some "discussion", I did succeed in migrating from Comcast cable at home ($180 per month) and dish pay as you go in the rv ($64.99/month) to dish with a hopper and 3 joeys in the S&B and a vip211k in the bus all on a single account for $74.99 total. Quite a deal methinks.
You are confusing broadband signal THRU a Coax with moving a HD signal. My ATT Uverse also transmits the HD signal thru a coax but you MUST have a ATT uverse reciever or DVR to then upload the HDMI to the TV. What the OP and others want to do is take a downloaded HD from either a receiver or Blu ray type DVD and transmit that HD to another TV located at least 30 or more feet. Your Hopper and My ATT UVERSE CANNOT do that. Doug
