dish play maker and wally hook up

Hello all. hope you are all doing well these days

I have a new SLX 237rbs 2021

Just got a disk play-maker and a wally receiver. the new jaycos dont have the "coax loop"anymore to separate tv antenna and satellite feeds.

what I had to do was pull out the mail antenna outlet under the entertainment center tv space. there is a piece of electronics there that has several coax cables connector there and a on off switch that powers the hd tv antenna.

the 12v power needed by the playmaker dish wont pass thru that device so I had to disconnect the cable coming in from the outside cable/sat connection, and hook that direct to the wally input. The wally is then connected to the TV via a HDMI cable. that made it work.

what im not sure about is now how do i get the signal to the outside TV location if i want to use the tv on the outside tv location? . where is that outside coax connector coming from? and how would I connect the wally to it? The wally dosnt have a coax "out" connection! Just HDMI out only.

Wireless? is there a wireless transmitter? Is there another way?

Also, i cant get up on roof. does anyone know it there is a satellite connector on the roof? or will I have to dangle it down the side?

I have read most of the related treads by class A seem to be different and others are old and talk about the "loop that I dont have.

awaiting your expert help

Thanks

I have the same set up. I use an app to locate the satellites, aim the dish that direction and set it on the ground or the truck. Run cable from that to Wally, HDMI from Wally to t.v. then plug into a receptacle outside of camper with a strip. Takes longer getting it turned on callin Dish than setting it up.
