I think I have a visual on what you did. But was more thinking along the lines of Whatsupchuck is saying. I may have that figured out though, my trailer is 100 miles away and will have to confirm this weekend.

You know I don't have my fiver back yet from the dealer but what I was thinking is when I do get it back I was going to go to the back and disconnect the cable that they have on a splitter and just hook it up directly to the cable.

The one in the bedroom works well but not in the living area.

Okay, did you take any pics by any chance or have the power splitter?

The "splitter" behind the living area TV is the power supply for the OTA winegaurd antenna. My 2019 Eagle has one orange cable from the docking station "Satelite" connection and one cable from the docking station "park cable" connection. The original purpose of the power is to power the preamp in the OTA antennal and nothing else. The "sat." orange cable (far as I know) is not connected to the bedroom sat. cable but I could be wrong. Other two cables are the outlets to 2nd TV (bedroom) and cable up to the antenna on the roof.

My involvement here was to find out why my Rayzar lost my favorite local station and what antenna would best serve my needs. I may go back to the Sensar IV for extra elevation. Satelite just happened to evolve in this discussion on my part. Sorry if hijacked the thought.

Honestly, I have not investigated the bedroom portion as that works for my purpose so far. I'm only assuming, the outlet for "SAT" on the exterior wall of the bedroom would be the feed for the "Sat" jack of the bedroom ceiling TV connection. Please don't take this a gospel as I haven't gotten that far yet.

The Winegard / Splitter Amp diagrams I've found so far show no Satelite cable on them. This appears to be new offered as a place to connect the input to the Sat. Rcvr. to be placed in the living area only. Any other connections appear "strictly left up to the coon" so to speak.

My mother is in a hospital for dehydration and at 96 is not happy to be out of her assisted living environment. This is first day and results good so far and sharing with family so my brain is a bit "SPLIT" and coffee not powered up yet.

I'm wondering if the Winegard Power Splitter (which can be purchased seperatley as a part) could be used as a power splitter to supply the sat. dish. I thought the receivers themselves now supply power to drive the dish. I have an old carry out that has to have it's own power supply which now may be useless with todays receivers. I'm way behind in the satellite part. OTA was what got me started. I haven't used satellite in an RV since 2017 when my wife was in Houston for stem cell transplant. WAY OUT OF TOUCH.

Last three years have been a wreck on my life as lost my wife in 2018 and then her mother in 2019. Now my mom is in trouble in 2020 and my new trailer "WE" never had is parked beside my house.

Onward through the FOG!

Whatsupchuck, I am so sorry for all of your misfortune but may the man above keep you and bring you through this.

I have my situation resolved, pretty simple. The docking station Sat hook up got directly to the bedroom Sat wall plate, the Aux docking station hook up goes directly to the entertainment center Sat wall plate. No splitters, uses separate lines for each. Jayco provided wiring diagrams, my trailer connections are backwards. There is no Sat connection to the exterior door side outlet, it is split off the bedroom cable/antenna connection.

What kind of trailer do you have?

Keno · 05-10-2020, 03:28 PM

2020 Eagle 330RSTS

Big1 · 05-10-2020, 05:03 PM

Oh, okay I need to get mines back from the dealer and check it, thanks.

I just did this yesterday! I ran a dedicated satellite line and was so into it, I ran all new cable TV wire as well. The routing that Jayco used was mind boggling to say the least...

Im having the exact same issue with our 2020 Eagle. We have Dish Playmaker. It works if I run the cable thru the window from Play maker to box- So I know its NOT my dish. I saw someone post some kind of a d link/ cable or something that is made to go thru window and allow window to close. I cant find that post again and would love to get one for the temporary fix. Our dealer is clueless and hasn't been doing any warranty work since beginning of March B/C of Covid. ( Not even going there) Anyone know about such a link/Cable thing?

Seems we have the same Rig. What brand POWER Splitter and where do I connect it? Hubs isn't the "fix it " type, but I am all about following a u Tube tutorial on something and making it happen.
