I decided to post this as a new thread. I have a 5th wheel RV that has all the cabling already installed and would require a major teardown to add any additional cables. Although I am very mechanically capable, I don't know all the abbreviations or terms for this dish stuff. I just installed a Trav'ler DishProPlus Turbo HD dish with triple LNB (110, 119, 129) As best as I can tell, switching is done internally and only one coax is needed to feed my receiver. I have a DPP VIP 722k HD receiver. I have a DPP separator and a DPP triplexor at hand. There are two coax cables available to the dish. They both run down into the bedroom where one is for tv2 and the second coax continues on to tv1 where the receiver is also located. There is an OTA coax that runs from the wing antenna to a booster and then splits for tv1 & tv2.
The problem I have is in trying to hook the tv2 up. I was able to use the separator for sat1 & sat2 inputs. I used the OTA coax for the ch21-69 out and was able to get the dual receiver to operate correctly. Is there a way to use just the single sat coax with the triplexor back to the tv2 without using the OTA coax? It looks like that is how my home system is set up but I only have one coax to tv2 and can't tell where the cables split to the dish.
I'd appreciate any help and a drawing would be very useful.
