    Question Hooking up Dish SAT in Bedroom

    I have a 2019 310GK and wish to set up a Dish receiver in the bedroom. I know there is a SAT port in the service bay for bedroom SAT. I don’t have access right now to my unit, so I have these questions. In the bedroom does the TV have a HDMI port and is there a coax connector in the bedroom for the SAT? I can only remember see the coax port that runs to the King antenna. Assume if there is no HDMI port on the TV you just have to connect the receiver to the coax on the TV. Thanks.

    I'm technology challenged so I may not be the one to answer your questions but I can tell you that our Dish Hopper is in the living room and we have a wireless joey in the bedroom and the outside TV. We get three different channels at the same time on our three TVs. You might want to look at the wireless joeys.

    Thanks! I had not seen a wireless Joey for the RV. Is it only hooked up to power and not SAT input? What receiver are you using as your main receiver? Guessing my 211z won't support the wireless Joey.

    Hard to see behind that bedroom TV but there are two cables.....I assume one is power and the other goes to the wireless joey. We had Dish install because it was much cheaper than the RV shops that I got a quote from.....and, they came to us.

    I just checked mine... There is an "AUX / BEDROOM" input in the wet bay and a second F-connector in the ceiling wall plate. So I'd say 99.9% chance you've got a easy route from an external sat antenna to the bedroom.

    One suggestion.... since you're using Dish get a VIP211 rather than a Wally. Overall I find the VIP to be a better receiver with a portable (and roof dome) than a Wally. Or wait until next year when Dish comes out with a new version of the Wally.

    In bad or rainy wether the the dish type gets better reception than the dome. One of the things I learned doing my research before we decided to go with the Trav'ler dish and the Hopper with Sling and the two wireless joeys. We bought all of our equipment.....didn't want to rent it monthly. Pricey but we've never had a problem any where in the nation going ocean to ocean twice. Mounted in the center at the very front (RV parks do not put trees at the front of the space) for clear satellite reception.
