Connecting Wally to TV
As a newbie to the lifestyle, the learning curve can be challenging, as I'm gradually getting the answers I need to feel I'm becoming part of a larger picture. Thanks to all who've helped. Got a TV...

Bill, what I meant was that connecting the antenna to the RV is simply attaching the cable between each to the port, which is within the power cord bay. Easy. But moving to the inside, the incoming [satellite] connection - to the Wally - and from the Wally to the TV - is my question... it suggests I must run my own cable from the Wally (which is connected to the satellite from a port I haven't found yet, unless it's the OTA switch) to... back of the TV? Or, A connection point NOT on the TV, but at some other point (which is, of course, connected to the TV), thus completing the circuit.
I understand about the separate Wally / splitter to the bedroom TV. There is a connection port within the cabinet in the bedroom, where a DVD is also housed, and I assume the Wally would be connected to this on one end, and then, via a connection to that TV on the other. This would appear an easier task, as the TV is just below the port access in a cabinet above it.
Your reply suggests I need to run a cable myself, from Wally to the [primary] TV. If that's how it must be, then I can do that, but I thought there might be an easier way, that is, an easier-to-find connection point already wired into the system, as opposed to my having to manually wire such connection to the back of the TV.
There IS a [cable] connection port behind, and below, the passenger seat (the OTA / cable on/off switch), so guessing this might be the connection to the satellite access, with that cable connected to the Wally, from which the [primary] TV connection is also made.
In the end, I'm looking at a relarively simple, easier way to connect everything. But having to run my own cable, hiding it effectively around corners, slides, from view, and having to dis-mount the TV in order to have access to the back all seems like a lot of work which I'd hoped manufacturers might have designed a simpler way to connect everything. Perhaps I am expecting more than I should?
