We are looking at a 365 Newport. The sales people said that there are two connectors for the Sattilite on the roof, one in front, and one on the back of the rig. I can't get a clear answer: does it require one dish each for the bedroom and living room. Or will one suffice for both?
Thanks in advance!
Hi wino2,
If you get a Winegard Travel'r rooftop dish, with the additional of 2 coax jumper cables in the Universal Docking Center (UDC) it will give you a satellite signal in both the living room and the bedroom.
Just as in a house, if you want to use two TVs in different locations, you typically need two receivers.
If you use a tripod-mounted dish that supports multiple receivers (some dishes support only one receiver), you connect the coax from the dish to the connector(s) in the Universal Docking Center (UDC). The wiring in the UDC goes to the living room and to the bedroom.
You can also use a dome-type dish that sits on the ground and automatically finds the satellite. Some support one receiver. Some support more than one.
Since you posted to the thread about the
Landmark 365 User Guide, let me point you to pages 47-49 for details on the coach side of the hookup.
Satellite can be complicated. We also have a
Getting Started With Satellite TV guide that will help you sort through some of the options. New dishes have come out since that guide was written, but in general it's still pretty current.
