Someone posted a picture of the splitter behind the convenience center. I think it was the diplexor mentioned above. I was confused until I read up on it. It had 3 input and 2 output (or vice versa). I couldn't figure out how you have 3 in and 2 out??? Then I figured out somehow it senses the signal and 'routes' it to the proper output. This doesn't work when the receivers like the 211z and the pathways x2 dish. The pathways get power from the receiver as well as the controlling information for aiming (I think). These splitters don't handle this 'outgoing' signal/power stuff.
Elsewhere there are at least one thread where someone gave me advice on drilling a hole in the side of the trailer and connecting an external coax 'box'. I run my sat. cable to this and on the inside direct to the TV. I have satellite, local cable, and over the air now.
