I have a new kind tailgater and a dish wally. I have 4 tv's total in the coach and I am fine with watching the same show on all 4. I only have coax running to each tv and i am trying to figure out what the best route is to get signal to all 4 tv's. I guess i can run cables but looking at wireless too. I can't find the IOgear wireless solution for 4 outputs. Doesn't anyone have some other options on how i can get this done?

The four coax cables running to each TV are for OTA television and campground cable. They are not for your satellite distribution. You should have HDMI cables and a HDMI distribution center somewhere in your coach. Check the back of each TV and see if you don't have HDMI cables in place. Look in your main AV cabinet and if there isn't a place to plug in an HDMI cable for distribution.

And if all else fails, check your documentation and/or call the coach manufacturer for help.

There is no HDMI distribution center in my coach. None of the TV's have HDMI now.

Well, in that case you are going to have to create one. Since it is almost impossible to run HDMI cable through walls or ceilings, you might want to look at running it through the basement, inside interior walls, behind furniture, and so on. Not fun.

Or go wireless. The IOGear system will support 4 TVs - one is the master TV plus three remotes.

What I did, but with a different receiver, was to add a converter for audio/video component signal to RF on channel 3 or 4 (aka RF Modulator). I also added a RF combiner to the OTA coax which will distribute the new channel from the sat receiver. The down side is no HD using this method on the coax.

The primary TV in the coach which is where the receiver is located is connected via HDMI so if there's something special I watch on that TV but the exterior and bedroom are SD only for sat channels which works well enough for my viewing.

I think it might be possible to do the same with HDMI conversion to a channel modulated RF and still maintain a HD image just never looked into it.
