Satellite TV needs to have a straight shot from exterior coax input to satellite receiver which is usually not the case if you only have a single exterior coax input. It will work OK for park provided cable tv but satellite signals will not passthrough.
My TT supposedly was satellite ready but when I tried to view satellite TV utilizing our single exterior coax input it was a no go since that coax input runs directly to a splitter behind where interior coax connection and tv antenna power button is located.
Most rigs that have a single exterior coax input will have similar issues but there is a simple mod we performed that alleviated this problem allowing us to use the same single exterior coax input for both satellite and cable tv. Some RVs do have a second exterior coax input dedicated to sat tv.
