I'm going to install a new Winegard Traveler dish on the motorhome. My question is that there are existing RG6 cables that are prewired from a switching box in one cabinet to another cabinet where the HDTV receiver will be located. Can the RG6 cables carry the HDTV signal from the new HDTV receiver back to the switching box so the 2 TV's will operate in Hi def? The receiver only has a HDMI connection on the "out" to TV side of the receiver. The "IN" from the Traveler dish is an RG6 connection.
NO. You can read some of the other posts and get confused so please understand that the answer to your question is NO!
The HD signal from the satellite will download via coax to your receiver but to get the HD signal from the receiver to the TV you will need to connect the receiver to the TV via HDMI. There are some wireless HDMI transmitters that would also send this HD signal to a 2nd TV but that will not be via coax.
