My ROKU video streaming device works well on my Breeze mid-TV and it connects to the Surround Sound system. However, when I use the ROKU on the main (front) TV, I get audio only from the TV speakers not the SS. (Service center doesn't see a way to do this.) Anyone solved this problem?

All Tiffins are wired so the mid-TV is the only one which is connected to the Audio-IN ports of the Home Theater System. You can check the back of the HTS and see if it has a second Digital Audio In port (might be coax instead of optical) and connect your Roku to that.

Thanks for the feedback, Roger. Currently I get Home Theater sound using both Mid and Front TVs by using the Dig-In input. So what must be happening is as long as the mid TV is on we will get HTS regardless of which set we are watching.

The Roku requires an HDMI connection to one of the TVs inputs. Were you thinking I could run coax from front TV to HTS? Assuming a separate input exists or perhaps a splitter at the input? How would the Roku video signal flow?
Thanks,
Frank

If your objective is to watch the Front TV with Surround Sound; why not turn on both TVs, stream to the mid-TV and watch the front? That should work, right?

Check QT's # 3 "PDR John's section" a lot on HDMI and other configurations.

I'm not sure how Tiffin set up the video on the Breeze. On the other models, there is an AV cabinet in the bedroom which handles video and sound to all of the TVs. In your model, there may be an HDMI splitter or an HDMI spliltter/extender to deliver audio and video,

Also, can you TV handle 3 HDMI inputs. That would be the easiest to deal with as you would only need to run another HDMI cable from the Roku to the TV. Otherwise, you are going to have take over the either Sat or the BluRay port for your Roku.

On a side note, what are you planning to use for internet for your Roku? If you are planning on using campground WiFi, think again. If you are plannning on using 4G, hope you got yourself a good data plan.

On my Breeze the Mid-TV uses an HDMI switch with three inputs. I connected the Roku to port #3 of the switch which is located just avove the mid-TV.

With #3 port selected on the HDMI switch, the Roku video is available to the Mid-TV. However, the Roku signal is not available to the main (front TV).

Also, I don't get surround sound for either TV with no matter what combination of HDMI switch settings and HTS inputs were selected. I must be missing something.

Update. After talking with Nick the TV guy at Red Bay, he said to use an HDMI switch when installing ROKU on the front TV. I used a powered HDMI switch with remote on HDMI 2 (Satellite) and it switches from Sat to Roku nicely. I also have surround sound when using Roku or Sat.
