I have a Dish Satellite Antena King Tailgator mounted on the roof of our class A. The receiver is in the front of the RV by the large TV. We have a TV in the bedroom and I want to get the signal back to the bedroom. I don't mind that both TV's get the same channel. This is a 2005 Fleetwood Expedition. I changed out both TV's to flat panel type smart TV's a couple years ago. I have a Coaxial cable that runs to the back bedroom from the area of the Dish receiver. The receiver has HDMI type connections. What is the cheapest way to transmit the dish signal to the bedroom? I really don't want to try and run a new cable the length of the MH. I am not up on the newest tech. Can I somehow use the coaxial cable? Is there a way to transmit the signal wireless to the bedroom?Thanks for any suggestions to accomplish this. I keep hearing from the wife you spent all this money for satellite TV and I can't watch anything from the back TV.

HDMI spiltter then HDMI can be transmitted wireless or over coax with converters, check Amazon etc.

Would this work?HDMI to Coax then Coax to HDMIHDMI splitter

Its going to get complicated and expensive at the same time.You will need a HDMI splitter (1 HDMI in and 2 HDMI out).You will need HDMI over coax extender/converter set (1 transmitter and 1 receiver).HERE ($60-$300 depending on model)You will need extra HDMI patch cables to make the connections..Output of sat goes into the input of the splitter.One output of the splitter goes to your front TV near the sat unit.Other output of the splitter goes to the input of the HDMI to coax converter transmitter.Coax from the rear is connected to the converter output.In the rear, the coax from the front connects to the input of the coax receiver.HDMI out from the Coax receiver converter goes to HDMI input of TV.Be aware, once you make this change, the rear TV will no longer be able to view any OTA channels from your RV antenna, it will only be able to watch the Sat output.The cable routed to the back must not have any signal splitters in the path.Personally, For the money, I would run some "Cat5-Cat6" Ethernet wire from front to back and use HDMI to Ethernet "Cat5-Cat6" converters instead. This allows you to still have the OTA antenna as an option and is a much lower cost option..HDMI over EthernetNo computer network involved, the units are just using thin lightweight low cost network wire instead of coax. The cable is cheap and easy to route and the converters start at $30 for a set..In both cases, I would highly recommend making sure that both the coax or Ethernet converters are not "passive" types, you want the ones that use a power supply on each end.The passive converters do not work as well and I have had issues with them failing on some long runs for computer projectors.. Solved that problem once I replaced with ones that use a power supply.I would not recommend RF transmitters and if possible to avoid using them as they can be problematic and expensive..

The problem is this.. The newer sat receivers are HDMI only for the most part.. NO RF, NO anything else (Some have audio/video)But the cable to the back is coaxTwo choices one is an HDMI to RF adapter the other HDMI-Coax and coax-back to HDMI. (the first (And the first part of the second) are basicaly TV transmitters. the nd part is a special receiver) you can google for e'm.. The prices (Last I checked) were nearing "reasonable" Very reasonable (16 bucks) But beware that one was HDMI to Coax ANALOG (NTSC)You really need HDMI to ATSC or QAM Those started around 300

A Dish Joey is not a standalone receiver. It's a sub-receiver that requires a Dish Hopper receiver to connect to so it can receive programming. The Joey has no tuners of its own. As long as Dish is collecting the monthly fee I doubt they really care who's watching the paid for programming. Also, the Wireless Joey has a limited range since it connects using WiFi.

Umm.. YES, They DO "care"..

Per Dish customer agreement..

HERE

Page 3 section G, they clearly define PERSONAL Viewing as non commercial viewing only.

"G. Private, Non-Commercial Viewing Only. We provide Services to you solely for (i) private, non-commercial
viewing, use and enjoyment by you, members of your household and your guests and (ii) any other form of viewing
permitted by the “fair use” or other applicable provisions of the U.S. copyright laws or by DISH’s agreements with third
parties. You agree that no Services provided to you may be used for public or commercial viewing. In the event that you
use the Services for public or commercial viewing, then, without limitation to any of our rights at law, in equity, under
contract (including, without limitation, this Agreement and your applicable Promotion Agreement(s)) or otherwise (all of
which are hereby expressly reserved): (1) we may disconnect your Services without notice at any time; and (2) in addition
to all other applicable prices, fees and charges, you agree to pay us the difference between the price actually paid for the
Services and the full, non-discounted applicable price that DISH charges for public or commercial viewing of the Services."

Allowing a unrelated "neighbor" outside of your home or RV access to your Dish services is not covered by "fair use".. Your neighbor is considered "public" and you have crossed into commercial land.

Sort of the same thing of allowing someone outside your household to borrow and watch DVD's, BlueRays, CDs or use someone elses streaming account without the permission of the originators of the content borrowed..

Sure, it can and is being done, but is it right to do so?

They do care and it is not allowed as you are providing free services to someone other than those in your home.

LouLawrence, it is NOT theft of service. I pay for the rcvr and 2 Joey's. I can watch 3 different programs on 3 TVs. So what was I stealing?

For your 2nd post, I installed the Hopper system in my RV and knew it would work before installing it. I bought the Winegard Trav'ler 3 LNB antenna for Dish. It receives the same 3 satellites that the Hopper 3 received when the rcvr was in our house before we sold it and went full time.
BTW, the wireless Joey gets its signal from the main receiver and not from the antenna (dish). So if the OP had a wireless Joey in his house that worked with his Walley receiver, then it WILL work in his RV.

I have this in the house I guess I could take it with me in the MH. I did get the parts that I posted and it is working.

When I talked to Dish the lady said the wireless Joey would not work with my Walley receiver in the MH??

Whatever you have working at home will work in your RV "as long as" you have the same antenna type, wiring and switches connected to the RV. This sometimes takes a bit of work and is likely not a standard setup you would find in an RV unless you had a really well qualified installer do the work in the RV.

Ever heard the phrase "theft of services"? Please don't get me wrong, we can all do as we please. We all speed, run stop signs and cheat on our taxes but calling it what it is is just what it is.

I'm not familiar with the Walley receiver. But if it works in the house with wireless Joey's, there is no reason it wouldn't work in an RV.
