Satellite Hookup

Hello all,
I have a 2015 Eagle Premier 331 RETS fifth wheel. I was wondering if there is a second external satellite jack that would feed the bedroom tv. I have the main tv working no problem but the satellite company I am with requires a second receiver for each tv…I have hooked up the second receiver to the wall outlet in the bedroom but nothing. What is this outlet connected to? Also have a third outlet in the storage compartment for hooking up a tv to watch outside. Thanks!
As a side note, a friend has the same year and floor plan as mine but a Pinnacle and it has two external satellite jacks.

We have the same issue. I tried once in our 2017 291rsts and just gave up. We only use the main tv anyway.

I do remember another thread here that may have solved the issue, need to do some searching.

In our 2017 Eagle the outside connections are
Cable
Satellite
Aux
Cable goes to the antenna connection

Satellite goes to bedroom tv sat jack above TV

AUX goes to the main TV satellite jack behind TV

I think they the switched cables up but it works

Okay, thanks! But I only have one outside jack that is labelled satellite/cable so it can be used for either or.

Do you have a plate with two connectors and a look cable... You remove the loop cable for satellite I believe

Yes I do…removed the jumper and hooked up satellite receiver to A port…works perfect in main living area, trying to get bedroom outlet working.

You may have to pull basement rear wall and do some coax tracing. Satellite doesn't use the same coax splitters as cable / antenna. Owners manual have anything in it on satellite in bedroom?
Other option is get a multi tuner type sat reciever. On bell it's a older model 9241 or 9242. Needed the dual output type dish and Had dual outputs so either two TV's or picture in a picture
And two remotes. RF and Infrared
We use the RF remote in upstairs bedroom.. Infrared downstairs at reciever in rec room Separate coax run for satellite in bedroom.

Get a HDMI wireless extender. It will transmit the signal from your living room to the bedroom. Works like a charm!

There is a splitter off the bedroom run for antenna / cable connection
