Multiple Same Time TV Use

Looking at either an Essex or Mountain Aire, what does it take to have 1 interior and 1 exterior TV to be on and watching at the same time? Does the wiring without mods allow it?

On my rig, I can watch the SAME DirecTV station in the overhead,kitchen and outside with one receiver.
Over the air TV,or Cable, I can watch different stations.
The bedroom TV needs a second DirecTV receiver.
Hope that answers your question.

Yea, I am thinking of 2 different channels on at the same time. Most likely at a park hooked up to their cable. Sounds like I can.

Most Newmars have the 2 front tv's along with the exterior one connected to the front satilite receiver. So if you are on satilite all 3 tv's will be on the same channel however, you have the option of tuning any of the 3 to antenna or cable and watch another program while others are watching satilite programming. The bedroom tv is on its own receiver.

If you have a DTV traveler HD
dish and the proper receivers you can watch three different channels at the same time.

If it is Satellite (DISH/DIRECTV) then a receiver for each screen if you want them on different channels. Over the air and campground cable no problem. But campground cable is disappearing pretty fast.

If you get a DISH Network Hopper 3, you can watch three different channels simultaneously.

I have a ViP-211k which allows me to watch two different channels simultaneously. I have three TV's: the bedroom and outside TV is on the same system.

Just gotta research it.

Good luck!

How do you do that? The Hopper 3 has 1 HDMI output. Unless you add Joeys you can still only watch 1 channel from the Hopper?
