Re: Dish TV Connections
Let me add that if you were to switch to the Wally receiver, you would have the same connection options, but also would have RF remote control, which means you could control your receiver from the remote TVs. I am looking at replacing my home system with Wally receivers for this exact reason.712Views0likes0CommentsRe: Dish TV Connections
You absolutely can connect a VIP 211Z to multiple TVs. The 211Z has two outputs. First is the HDMI output which is high def. It also has a composite (Red/White for audio and yellow for video) which is standard definition. The way I have done this is to place the receiver near the most important (living room?) TV and connect with HDMI. Then get an RF Modulator that converts the red/white/yellow connection to coax. Once this signal is converted to coax it can be distributed to the other TVs via the camper's coax wiring, if available. Another method, which I have not tried, would be to utilize a wireless HDMI transmitter/receiver. There are units that have one transmitter (connected to the HDMI output on the receiver) and multiple receivers which can be attached to the TVs. Again, I have not tried this method. The transmitter/receivers can be expensive. Please note that in the methods above, all TV's must watch the same satellite channel. HOWEVER, I also connect the OTA antenna to the main TV coax input so this TV can watch OTA while others can watch sat signal. Sorry for the lengthy post.712Views0likes0CommentsRe: Where can I find a 12 VDC 32 inch or larger TV
I run a 24 inch TV, a 32 inch TV and my dish receiver which is powering an automatic portable antenna. I power all this at the same time if needed from a 300 watt Go Power pure sine wave inverter. I ran a dedicated circuit from the inverter to the entertainment area and to an outside outlet to run all this. It works great. No more running my generator just to watch a little TV. I have 2 - 6V golf cart batteries which power this all great.662Views0likes0Comments
