Our TT came pre-wired for satellite TV. I couldn't figure out how the factory ran the cable and where a splitter is. There's an extra jack on the ceiling above the TV at the dinette and also in the bedroom (in addition to regular coax jack). I have no idea where they expect you to put a sat. receiver.
Our external sat. coax jack is behind a bank of kitchen drawers and I removed the factory coax and ran new high quality coax up to the sat. box which sits on top of the kitchen cabinets through the lower cabinets and up inside the wall of the pantry. From the receiver I ran an HDMI cable through the ceiling over to adjacent to the TV where the radio is. There is a large grommet beside the radio for the component cables to the TV and the HDMI cable runs through that. All new cable is fully concealed. I changed out the single receptacle at the microwave for a duplex type and the receiver plugs into that.
I'm curious where other folks put their receivers? Luckily with the arched ceiling we have, there is an open space above the kitchen cabinets that is just tall enough for the receiver and is the perfect place. In later model years of our TT, KZ filled in the opening with a piece of luan. Absolutely no place in the bedroom for a receiver other than attaching to the ceiling...
