Good afternoon welcome to Just Answer my name is James.

The dish has to have a direct connection to wally receiver.

If you can a picture of your inside equipment so I can see what you got.

Thanks James

Ok you need a direct line from dish to sat input. if you are hooking to cable input on side of trailer you need to switch box to cable to  get satellite signal.

James

Customer
Okay but where do I hook the Wall-E 2 on the box or do I bypass the box all together

Or to make it easier remove cable input from box and hook it sat. in on receiver.

another cable to out to tvs

Customer
There is one place on the Wally to hook up an incoming cable nothing else

By pass box for sat in you need a direct line to receiver. hdmi to tv from wally

Customer
Okay so hook main cable up to the Wally and the HDMI to the TV I should be all right then correct
Customer
What about those three little diddy's that are red yellow and black
Customer
Is that the HDMI

send a picture of them also your winegard wall plate

Customer
You mean the back of the winegard box

No wall plate where you hook from it to black box

Customer
I don't think I have a wall plate that comes out of the back of the TV through little holes and plugs into the box

picture of the back of box

Do you have a tv antenna on the roof

Customer
I have a TV antenna

the cable coming inside might be from the antenna

At the rear driver side of the RV outside is a cable hookup

You must have two cables coming in from the outside

Customer
On the box it says from the satellite to TV too but the other side of the box says from antenna to main TV

You need to determined which cable is coming from outside cable hook up than put that cable  ON sat in on wally

Customer
the satellite which would be the outside receptacle is hooked to the back TV so how would I get it to the front TV where I want it and plug it into the wally

No the cable from the outside hook up will go directly to the wally input.

from wally to tv.

Customer
I have not seen a wall input at all the cables come in and go from the rear up to the front and they go to the back of the TV I haven't seen any outlet to plug into a tall for cable I'm confused

you should have a cable input  on the left side of the coach. from cable on that black box has to be hooked to something

Customer
It says from satellite to back TV so if I took that satellite I looked into the back of the Wally I'm trying to think is there a splitter or something that I could hook the other TV to it as well

Ok the cable coming from your playmate has to go directly to sat in port on wally. from the wally if it only Has HDMI hook up, if you split it  to another tv but both TVS will have too watch same program.

Customer
I never watch TV in the back bedroom but I'll take that I'm going to try to hook it up tomorrow and go from there maybe I can tinker around with it and get it to run wish me luck

Ok sounds good I will be here tomorrow if you have a problem.

James

Customer

Ok I know what you are saying,

thanks for the question.
