My question is this.

Is it possible to have either a tv source, RV park cable and dish as possible choices when we travel from park to park?

We installed a DISH receiver and now we can't access any of the
3 options above. They first said it was a surge protector problem,
but that didn't work.

If you install Dish to you lose any of the first two?

Neither the manufacturer or the RV retailer has a solid answer.

Does anybody know about this?

Thanks in advance

Both CABLE and OTA TV should still work exactly as they did before the satellite TV install as these are fed to the TV via coax cable. There is likely a power supply (wall plate) mounted on a wall near the main TV that has an on/off button/switch. This is also the switch between using the Cable or TV input. Power on, OTA TV. Power off, Cable.
The satellite TV input will be via HDMI.
You will have to program each TV for the type programming you want to watch. You use the TV's INPUT option to select and program for the various input. Selecting HDMI should simply get you satellite TV.
Selecting Antenna Input you will then need to select either Antenna or Cable (or similar wording) and then run a channel scan to allow the TV to "find" the actual channels available. You cannot simply enter Channel 3 on your remote and expect Channel 3 to show up unless the TV first found that channel during a search routine.

Regarding your last sentence, you CAN simply enter Channel 3 on your remote and the TV will go to Channel 3. The purpose of the channel scan is to allow the TV to create a list of available channels so you can go from channel to channel using the Channel Up or Channel Down button.

In your example, if you do not do a scan when arriving at your new location (and Channel 3 was not found at your last location), then the UP and DOWN Channel buttons will skip over Channel 3. But you can always access Channel 3 by press the "3" button.

I have two TVs, one in front, and one in bedrooom. I can use Satellite, cable, DVD or OTR antenna, on either or both, whichever we chose to use. But I did my own wiring, using cabling that was already installed by builder. HDMI is not necessary, but properly wired, it can help. BTW, High def TV works just as good on coax as it does on HDMI cable.

You need a tv with three or more HDMI inputs and a tuner with co-ax input.
The DISH box connects to a HDMI input.
The park cable connects to the coax input. If you want to include OTA (Antenna), add an A/B switch.
DVD player in second HDMI.
Some cable signals require a box which would have HDMI out to third HDMI input.

Use TV remote to change inputs.

If your tv has sound output it can go to a surround system or sound bar.

Installed properly you should be able to select satellite, cable, or OTA whenever you want.

I'm not sure what you mean by ' can't access'. The dish install wiped out what used to work?

I am guessing whoever instalaled your Dish satellite system bypassed your other input connections, cable and antenna. Can't say specifically, but you may need a video switch of some sort.....you need to put this question to an RV video expert.....
