Direct TV Connections
Just purchased a new 323 bhs today. I see there are 4 cable inputs for each area of the camper.
If I have a dish that will allow 4 separate cables to be connected and a Direct box for each
Area do I just connect the 4 cables from the dish to the 4 inputs to allow each area to
Receive a separate signal or do I need to have the dealer modify anything before we
Take delivery ?

. There are 4 connections in the utility center. One for cable, and one each for living room, bedroom, and pass through storage satellite connections. There is a cable and sat connection at each TV location. Make sure you are connected to the right signal. We have a Dish 2 room sat receiver. It uses a single cable in through a diplexer splitter to the living room connection. It hooks to a triplexer splitter between the receiver and living room connection Lin the living room which splits the TV 1 and 2 signals and sends it back to the utility center on a different channel and the diplexer splits it to the bedroom and pass through TVs. Sounds complicated, but works good!

Thanks for your reply. I think the difference we may have is our satellite dish is set up to allow for 4 separate cable connections at the dish that gives us the ability to see different channels on each TV with a direct box at each. I'm Hoping that connecting each for the 4 cables to the appropriate inputs will allow us to have ability to receive separate channels on each location but I may be wrong.

I'm not sure about Direct TV, but Dish you can run 2 channels on one cable. The signal comes back to the second room on a different channel. Tv1 is on 3, and TV 2 is on 73. If I wanted 4 channels I would need another receiver and hook a second cable to the lmb. The 2 room is great for the fifth wheel because of the simple installation pictured. I only unhook 1 cable every time and leave the rest alone! It should work for you to hook a cable to each sat connection in the utility center individually and each have their own receiver.

Is there a way to Hook a Satellite cable (Coaxial) on roof to the HD Antenna to get it to work on living room outlet or ALL? I have a PA2000R Pathway X1 Portable roof mount. I want to only have a connection to the Entertainment system in the Living area. I am trying to set it up this way so so I don't have to climb up on the roof and sling a cable over the side to hook it up. As you can see, I am Clueless. Any Help is help I don't have at the moment.

I was able to connect each if the four cables from my dish to each cable input in the
utility center. Got a signal Using separate direct boxes in each area which was what
I was looking for. The hook-up was simple.
