2018 Dutch Star TV Question

[lagawne]

We are waiting for our new 4369 which will be delivered Oct. 1. At our Florida property we have cable TV/Internet in lieu of satellite. The cable requires a DVR box to be installed. I am use to the old wiengard selection panel where I feed the cable feed into the satellite connection and then selected fit for the TV we were watching.

Do not understand how new system is configured. There are multiple inputs to any of the up front TV's..ie Satellite, blue ray, regular TV antenna signal etc. How are these signals connected to the 3 TV's? Is there some kind of a junction / distribution box?

In addition to the cable connection that comes standard with coach I did have 2 additional cable wires installed in AV area. Thought is 1 for modem connection an the other feed to DVR box. Just need to figure out where output of DVR will be connected into system.

With a coach hard to understand Bose's system etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Patently waiting for new arrival,

Larry Gawne

I have to ask, since you don't have the coach, why fret about something that you don't have any control over? Why not wait until you have your walk through at which time your questions may all be answered

Larry we are also waiting for our 4369! Each device, example BlueRay has a HDMI cable out to a HDMI splitter box that has HDMI cables going to a port on each TV. The bedroom TV is on its own and inputs connect directly to the bedroom TV.
As far as the sound system, it's a sound bar now that works off the TV directly.
I would think that you could connect your cable DVR to where a satellite box would be. The only thing I'm not clear on is the location of the HDMI splitter boxes.

Larry, if your cable DVR box has an HDMI output on the back, you simply install an HDMI cable from the cable box to the HDMI splitter. On mine, I have two HDMI splitters. One splits the satellite signal to three TV's. The other splitter, splits the DVD player to the three TV's. So....if your cable box has HDMI, you'll just connect to one of the splitters.

Can you tell me where the splitter is located?

I've been trying to get an answer about the HDMI cabling from my dealer for 2 weeks now without success. I want to be able to send HDMI from one central point (e.g. the relocated A/V cabinet above the main TV) to all TVs. I know the bedroom TV is isolated so I requested an HDMI wire (as a special) from the A/V cabinet to the bedroom TV.

What I can't figure out is how the rest of it is wired. There is a plate with 2 HDMI connectors in the A/V cabinet but I don't know where it goes.

I can't tell what's in the cabinet above the driver but presumably that's where the splitter could be.

A simple wiring diagram would be great but no one seems to know.

Very frustrating.

One of the HDMI plates the one above the coax is HDMI for the Satellite box. The other I have been told is for Dish Network setup. On my CS the HDMI boxes were in the open, one for Blue ray and one for Satellite . In my visits to the Dealer I did not see them on the DS

Your dvr won't work on the park cable system unless you are a subscriber to that system, in which case they would run a direct wire to your coach. I don't understand why you had more wires installed, the coach comes wired for anything you'll want to do. There is no "modem connection" in a park. It's all wireless wifi. Best to do it all wireless anyway. Once you get your coach we can help. You'll be fine without having to do anything.

Well I added a HDMI from the rear TV to the front AV Cabinet so that a blue ray video could be watched on all TV's
And I added a HDMI cable from the Rear A/V cabinet to the Televator TV so that I can have the rear Satellite box on the Televator and the front Satellite box on the overhead TV.

Wow, there are only two of us.

? Not sure what your saying, I thought you didn't need any more wires[emoji4]

[dxg0001]

Based on all the info I got, here is how I think the wiring looks like:

[Stuart W]

Sorry just looked at it again, yes this looks like my CS layout also. What I'm looking to do is tie the bedroom TV in to this diagram

[Stuart W]

Ok just found this, the picture is the pass side bay just below the outside TV on a 4018. Looks like the HDMI splinters are now mounted outside and below[ATTACH]

Stuart,

Is this in a 4369?
