Tailgater and Sat1 LVR & Sat 2 BDR

Hi Everyone,

I searched the forum but can not find any information. I have a dish tailgater, in my convenience center I have a satellite 1 living room and satellite 2 Bedroom. Can I use a splitter from the tailgater to the two Sat in ports and view my programing on both my living room and bedroom tv. I realize they would view the same channel. Am I missing something from the inside of the RV in the main TV area-a switch or something to turn on the bedroom signal.

Thank you for your help.

    The Tailgater coax must go directly to the sat receiver. If you want to run two TVs from the same sat receiver you must run two cables from the receiver to the two TVs.

    Do you have a 211k or 211z receiver?

    Are you referring to splitting the sat signal between the dish and the receiver or between the receiver and the television jacks.

    a quality splitter down stream from the receiver works fine. perhaps your 1/2 switch has no "both" position and you really need to jumper across it which will make it a "splitter".
