Dish signal to multiple TVs

I use a tailgater and dish 211 receiver in my TT. Right now I have a TV inside and an outside TV. I have been running an HDMI cord through a window to get the dish signal to the outside TV. I am looking at a TT that would have 3 TV's. One in the living area (where the dish receiver would be located), one in the bedroom and an outside TV. How are others on this forum distributing satellite signal to multiple TV's? I do not like to tie my antenna to my dish receiver because if they are separate we can watch two things at the same time (one on antenna and another on dish). Any secrets to extending dish to multiple TV's without drilling holes and HDMI splitters?

You will need a separate receiver for each TV - a splitter won't work. In addition, with a portable antenna like the Tailgater, if more than one TV is being watched, each TV will have to be viewing channels that are on the same satellite. The portable automatic antennas only have on LNB so can only receive one satellite at a time. You would have to use a three-LNB antenna like the TR-6100 to receive all three satellites simultaneously (and this type of antenna is not automatic).
