We bought a new 2015 Gateway 3200RS in July. We love the floor plan with movable island (we got the flat island that is same size all over for more counter space-it does not have the higher sized ends) . Husband also wanted to make sure he had his recliner directly in front of tv which this floor plan provided and the king bed. When we move the island back by the stove top, we can put in 2 full side twin beds just in case you are interested. The couch in this gateway does not pull out into a bed. Pull out beds are uncomfortable anyway. We also bought a 3" King RV/CAMPER 3.3lb density memory foam mattress pad/bed topper to put on top of the king mattress that came with the Gateway.. I found the "RV" sized topper for a RV king size bed on ebay. A regular king size topper would be to big. Now our king bed is so comfy. We also have full size refrigerator.
Back to my Question:
There are cable hookups built into the rv. Does anyone know if these are satellite cable hookups or just for the tv antena? If they are satellite cable wired, they don't work with our Winegard Pathway X2 - 2 Receiver Bundle. We want to be able to watch 2 different channels in each room (bedroom and living room).
Since this a is NEW 5th wheel, one would assume Heartland would be wiring new RV's with satellite wiring.
Since the cable connectors dont seem to be working for satellite, we have had to to buy extra coax and hook up each tv/receiver to the pathway. It works great using this method but with wires everywhere. We can watch different channels at the same time which is good for us since our taste in TV programs are usually NOT the same.
Currently we have one tv in our living room and the other in the bedroom. We use DISH service since that is what we have at our home.
When the dish is hooked up, we do not receive local channels. Tried using antena that came with the RV for local channels and it doesn't work so good.
Any suggestions, feedback welcome.
This is our first RV.
