Three TV's two satellie receivers

I am purchasing a new bunk house trailer. I will have the main tv in the lounge area, the kids tv in the bunk area and a small tv in our bedroom. I have the hook up figured out for the main tv and the kids tv. Plug the cable into the satellie plug on the outside of the trailer and plug the receivers into the wall. My guestion is how do I go from the lounge tv to the main bedroom tv? I don't mind using the cable receiver box in the lounge area to change channels, or do I have to get a third receiver for the main bedroom?

I hope this us understandable and thank you in advance for the help.

    a quick simple semi-related question to avoid starting another thread. my current dish receiver/s will not get Hidef. If I swap out one of my receivers for one that will get it, can a high def only signal still play on my ancient non-hidef TVs?

    For 2 tv's on one receiver I use the component output to one and HDMI to the other in my home. Of course, this means stringing wire, which is not so easy in an RV and you can only tune one station at a time. This works well for me to pair a tv in my office and a, seldome used tv in a guest room. RF remotes are essential.

    I also use the 2 tv's in my den and kitchen off the same receiver. I wouldn't want two different programs in these two nearby locations anyway. For these two I use an Actiontec, send and receive unit. The Actiontec units are a little expensive but are versatile and handy to take on the road or tailgating.
