We have a 2008 Voyage. My DIRECTV satellite receiver only has one coax connection and that is for the dish input. I have it now connected so we can view Sat programs on the front TV by running composite cables from the Sat. box to the front TV. It appears in order to use the Winnebago switching system to run Sat to the rear bedroom TV I need somehow to have a connection from the sat receiver to the switchbox. How is this done when the switch box appears to have only coax inputs?? My old Sat. box worked fine as it had coax connections for input and output.

Zippo - you need an RF modulator. It will take your composite input and output a coax signal on ch. 3 or 4. Available at Walmart or lotsa other places. I just bought 2 from Walmart for $11.54 each.

What he said! You will not get HD to the rear TV but you will get the same programming in SD. If you want HD to the rear TV then you will need a second receiver back there. The connections that you will use are the RCA Yellow, Red and White connections.
