Montana Owners Club - Keystone Montana 5th Wheel Forum - View Single Post - Newbie Question -- Hooking up Converter Boxes

bncinwv · 11-09-2009, 01:36 AM

I use converter boxes in conjunction with the OEM Winegard batwing and the antenna booster and have had no problems whatsoever.
The converters are a simple installation, just hook them in series with the existing cable/satellite feeds for each TV. There is no difference in the installation than that required for a stickhouse installation. The only difference is in the cabinet atop the living room TV where there is (at least on ours) a couple of coax connections which can be confusing if you also have a DVD and surround sound installed. I intercept the coax after the factory installed splitter and install the converter box on the leg opposite the one that goes to the DVD-surround sound. Hope this helps.
