DVR install
I Have a Winegard RM-46 rv digital sat system with a crank up dish with two coax oulets. I have a standard DTV connected to one of these oulets. I want to convert it to DVR service. Can that be done with of course a DVR receiver? If so , I assume I will have to run the other cable down to the new receiver. So my question is two fold. Can it be done with this antenna which only has one lnb ( lmb? ) and how do you route this second cable down into an enclosed cabinet next to the TV?
Thanks
Cliff

Have you tried connecting to a ABCD, multiple inputs with one output, switching box. I have a VCR, DVR, Antenna and SAT all tied into a switching box and did not have to pull any wires. As a matter of fact I have two switching boxes. This way the TV in the back can be on a different input then the one on the front.

This is not the one that I have but should work the same.

I have used this model with a DTV DVR on my previuos motorhome. As far as wiring it. I would assume that you would just follow the existing cable? The two coax need to go to the same place to attach to the back of the DVR.

I am using a Directv DVR on a KVH dish with only one coax connected. It works just fine for our use, which is to record a program while we are away from the MH. With only one coax connected you are not able to watch one channel while recording a different channel.
Look at where your cables now go into the roof. Does the cable cover have enough room for another cable? I installed a Winegard in-motion dish on our previous MH and the cover would handle 3 cables, two coaxes and a control cable. If yours will handle another cable just remove it, run the new cable in the same hole and seal it back up. If not then you will need to get a new header cover to run the cable inside the new hole you drill.
