My fifth wheel is wired for satellite, can I buy two receivers Just get a single dual receiver and watch TV in both the bedroom and living room with just the one cable running to the satellite or do I have to run another cable. Am new to this so any advise would be appreciated.
Just kidding!:B
You'll need to let us know who your provider is....DISH...DIRECTV...??
I can only speak of DISH, so if you want two tv's that you can be viewed separately from each other, you can run one cable from the antenna dish (not the satellite;)) and then use a dual receiver that will require you to use a splitter on the single cable to each receiver input. Since it is a dual receiver, it had two receivers in the same unit.
Previously, I used a DISH 722 dual receiver and it provides me with HD on the 1st receiver output and then SD on the 2nd receiver output. But I can use each tv totally separate from the other. I really wanted HD on both tv's so I got another 722 and ran a 2nd cable from my antenna and split it into the two new inputs.
Now I not only have HD on both tv's, I also have a separate recording receiver for each tv.
If you don't have DISH...well, just forget everything I said above.
Good Luck
