Dish TV Connections

DO you want a Single program on all 3 TV's and no recorders. or do you want Mutiple programs at the same time?

Option 1: A VIP 211 series receiver and an HDMI splitter with cables to all 3 TV's. You likely will have to route cable less you have a RV already set up for this.

Option 2: Buy two more tailgaters.

If you want to be able to watch DISH in HD on all TV's then you either need a receiver at each TV (Tailgater will not support this) or you need to add an HDMI splitter and run new HDMI cables from that location to each TV. That can also be done with a wireless HDMI splitter but that adds a pretty high cost. If your coach has a "box of many buttons" (BOMB) that allows you to select TV, Cable, Ant., Aux, etc. then you can run a coax to that box and watch TV in SD in the other TV's in the coach and an HDMI cable to the local TV for HD. The 211 does not have a coax output but you simply need to buy a composite to coax converter (Red, white, yellow output) and you are good to go. These are very cheap.

211z does not have coax output. 211k does.

Wow so many options. I appreciate all the replies. I know what to look for. I’ll research the options and see which is best for me or maybe I’ll use one tv for sattelite and the others use OTA for now. Might be a task to get done in Quartzsite. Thanks again

Not much OTA available in QZ! QZ is also generally over priced compared to finding a service guy elsewhere. What are you going to do between now and February?

I have a Tailgater to get one tv on satellite. I'm pretty confused on what I need to do. I would like to get a roof mounted satellite that I could watch different channels on at least 2 tv's. I've read if you are watching tv in one room an the Western arc channels and you change channels in the other room to an Eastern arc channel, it will mess up the other tv. I'm not sure which satellite and receivers to use. You are right...What I need is a satellite guy. Thanks
