B.O.M.B.
I'm looking for a new box-of-many-buttons that will take either HDMI or coax. I found a few from a google search, but I don't want to spend $400. Any suggestions?

The coach is all coax for cable and antenna. I just got a Dish Wally which has HDMI out only. I would like to put the Wally in the compartment up front and feed both front and back TVs from the Wally. So I would need a switch that has at least HDMI input and 2 coax outputs. Yes I know I'll be losing resolution. I don't care.
I can easily run some coax from the from AV compartment to the front grill of the coach and connect the Pathway there.
The alternative is to co-locate Wally next to the front TV and run a separate run of coax to a new outside cable tap for the dish and abandon the idea of getting Dish in the back.
A BOMB will not get an HD signal to your TV's via coax so what you are hoping for will not work. You could buy a BOMB with a DVD connection (Red, White, Yellow RCA connection) and get an adapter that would take the HDMI output and down grade it to RCA output. This would give you a good picture on all TV's, but not at HD quality.
If you can't run new HDMI to the TV's you could connect 2 different receivers to each TV. You would continue to use the BOMB for OTA and Cable and the TV's HDMI connection for HD satellite TV.
