If you are hooking up directly to your TV, just attach the main RV antenna coaxial cable to the converter box and then run the second coax cable supplied from converter box to the TV. So briefly, RV cable to the in connection on the box and second cable on the out connection to the TV. Then set the TV to channel 3 and use the tuner that controls the converter box to tune the TV. Not sure the procedure for going through the entertainment center, but the box instructions should cover that.

The requirement is for one converter box per TV unless your TV has an ATSC (digital) tuner built in. If you are hooked up to cable in the campground, you won't need the converter boxes either.

If you don't mind watching the same channel on both tv's you can use a splitter off of the converter box, but remember that the remote is line of site. You could buy an RF sender from Radio Shack to overcome that. If yours is anything like my 3400RL was, you can put the splitter above the tv and plug into the bottom antenna connector where the jumper is located. (Typically bottom goes to bedroom, but check the top one if the bottom one doesn't work) You also do not need a converter box if you are using a satellite receiver.
