On my North Point, I accessed the back of the TV through the window. What model Pinnace do you have? You will need to run the HDMI cable from the TV to your receiver. Next to my main TV there was a pantry where there is a panel towards the back that can be unscrewed and removed which exposes the cables running to the TV. I fished the HDMI cable from the receiver to that pantry and then up to the TV. You connect the tailgator with coax to the Satellite hookup where your water hookup is and your holding tank valves, etc.

Same here. Felt kinda dumb standing outside on a step ladder fumbling through the window, but it works.

Yes. Now I didn't go through my window behind your tv their should be a coaxle cable plug in that say Satellite. You only should plug in your HDMI cable into your tv.

In where your winterize connections is at their is one coaxle plug that for the satellite that is for you main tv and the aux coaxle plug is for the tv in your bedroom.

Now if you have two inlet plug in you tailgater Satellite dish antenna you can do that, plug in two tv's. I don't know or not sure how your setup is but the HDMI cable goes from your receiver to your tv.

Hope that help and if you not sure ask were here for you.

If you’re using the tailgater with DIRECTV there is no HDMI cable and coaxial cable is run from the box to the TV (with a tailgater you can only get standard definition TV with DIRECTV). however if you’re using dish then there is an HDMI cable from the box to the TV. there is a difference.

My tailgater (Wineguard Pathway) does not work thru the Sat connection. I removed the scree behind the TV and pass the coxial wire thru the window to the converter box. I took a picture with my cell phone, of the back of the TV to find the HDMI ports. Not an easy thing. The DW was a big help in holding the flashlight until I got it right. The wires are passed up behind the TV to the cabinet. Not the best way but after a day or two you get used to it.

A friend of mine was trying to connect their King domed dish to their Pinnacle and never could get it to work when connecting the coax to the trailer inside the docking station. Found out that his was wired wrong from the factory (go figure) and only by using a coax tester, did we discover he needed to hook it up to the aux connection instead of the one labelled Sat to get a picture in the LR.
