I am wanting to move my reciever from the house to the MH. I will need to use a different set of wires as the HD cable plug is not on the coachs TV's. The coach has 4 TV's all connected thru a central switch box. There is no space for the reciever near that box. There is a space dedicated for such an animal in the bedroom. Can the reciever be wired at that location and serve all 4 TV's? (wires are run within the walls) I suspect that I will only be able to get it to work on the one and the large TV in fromt will only work from in the park cable or the air ant.

You will want to get an RCA to RF converter. Wire the Yellow, Red and White wires into the converter and it will output a coax cable that you can connect to your Video Control Center. You can not output the signal to all of the TV's. You will not get HD anywhere but you will get as good a picture as is available.

Bill,

Couldn't he use an A/B switch to send the signal to a different TV position?

An A/B switch where? He has to get the signal to the switch box (VCC) which is much like an A/B/C/D switch. The HD receiver does not have an RF output that will allow a coax connection so that is what is needed to get through the switcher. Other options are available for the one TV that might be located near the receiver itself but that depends on the age and type of that TV.
