Satellite TV Hook-up
Several models of TMC motorhomes are pre-wired for a satellite TV antenna. Check with your selling dealer
to determine if you motorhome contains this wiring. If your motorhome is pre-wired, or if you decide to add
a satellite TV receiver to your entertainment system, a HDMI to COAX converter will need to be purchased
in order to distribute the satellite TV signal to the TV’s within your motorhome. This converter is not available
from TMC.
The HDMI cable output from the satellite receiver will need to be connected to the HDMI input on the
converter and then exit the converter via a COAX cable. The OUTPUT COAX cable from the converter will
need to be connected to a 2:1 splitter, where the other input to the splitter connects to the park’s COAX
cable. The output from the splitter connects to the Antenna Booster Plate. See illustration below.

Connecting a satellite to all TV’s in Thor Motor Coach Class C models (2018/2019 Four Winds, Chateau and Quantum)
The only way to distribute a satellite with one receiver to all TV’s will require use of a HDMI to analog COAX converter.
The HDMI cable output from the satellite receiver will need to be run to the HDMI input on the converter and then exit the converter via COAX cable.
This coax cable will require a two in and one out splitter to be run inline with the “Park Cable” coming from the exterior of the unit.
The park cable line can be intercepted at the rear of the antenna booster plate.
