- donn0128Explorer IIProbably not. At least not with a 99 cent radio shack splitter.
- LinedogExplorerI know Dish has spitters that install behind the receiver that will send the same signal to 2 TV's.
- newman_fulltimeExplorer IIWith a 625 received you can run the cable to two tv's just tie into your ant wire cable to the bedroom
- bob_nestorExplorer IIII may very well be wrong, but I thought the receiver actually sent something up to the receiver horn on the dish - power or signal. If that's the case I don't see how you could connect two receivers to the same dish on a single cable without some special connector provided by DishTv.
It's been some time since I installed my dish antenna, but I thought there was the capability to run multiple receivers off it but only by running coax from each receiver to the horn on the dish. I have both DirecTv and DishTV antennas installed on my roof but I only use one service, so I may be confusing the two though. - RoyBExplorer IIWhat I did was bring along One Dish with a dual port head and two SAT RCVRS and two long RG cables.
Then I ran one RG CABLE to each SAT RCVR ANT INPUT...
Then I came out of the SAT RCVR VIDEO OUTPUT to a video input on each TV INPUT.
This way I can watch separate SAT TV Channel STATIONs on the Front TV and the Back TV.
Using the VIDEO INPUTS you can easily switch back to the trailer CABLE TV by using the TV remote...

Hey all, I have a 2016 Cougar 333MKS, trying to make a long story short. Can I run 1 cable to my coach then a splitter each side going to a receiver and run 2 TV's at the same time?
Based upon the limited information provided the answer is no. Since you use the word "receiver" I have to assume you mean satellite and I also assume you mean running a splitter to 2 different satellite receivers. If that's all correct, the correct answer remains, no. - lynndiwagonExplorerHey Bill, he could do that with Directv........lol.
- Bill_SatelliteExplorer IIOnly if you use a DirecTV SWM setup and likely only if using new coach wiring.

To send the same signal to 2 different TV's you just need a coax splitter from the output of one receiver going to both TV's. This will be a standard definition signal and it's not like being able to watch 2 different channels on 2 different TV's. - lynndiwagonExplorerBill, the key words are "wireless mini genies."
