Video switch controller replacement

[grouchotoo]

If this has already been discussed, my apologies:

I just arrived in Phoenix and had Cox hook up HD cable to my coach. The signal to noise ratio was terrible and the tech determined that it was the video switch box that was the problem. I've had previous problems with this box and want to replace it but it seems that it's no longer available.

I found the Quest QS44HD that seems to be what I'm looking for except that the connections are all RCA and not coax. I read that you can get a RCA to coax converter but this won't handle the HD signal.

How can I get HD to my rear TV which only has coax cable running to it?

Thanks.

Use a splitter and route the cable feed to both tv's. Use video to connect the DVD.

Have you talked to anyone at http://lichtsinn.com ? They can usually get anything for Winnebagos and can sometimes offer advise on replacements.

Thanks. I just called Lichstinn and they have the replacement box: QS0503. Apparently it's the same box that was made by Winegard but is now made by Quest. I don't know if that will solve the HD signal issue but the other box was having problems even with standard definition so it's worth a try. The other suggestion that I got to use a splitter from the cable box wouldn't really work for me because that would mean having to watch the same programs on both the front and back TVs. I'll have to investigate the other suggestion to go wireless.

Thanks for all the responses.
