I own a 2004 Itasca Meridian. The entertainment system consists of 2 TV sets and two speakers. There is an external port for a TV, and a port for cable signal input. There is a batwing antenna on the roof for over the air TV. A component switch box (Box of Many Buttons) with coaxial connections controls the TV inputs and outputs. The coaxial used is RG59.
The main cabin TV was replaced a few years ago with a Visio 23 inch flat screen. The video input for the flat screen is HDMI. The initial cable input port has been rewired with RG6 coax from the input port to the Dish Network receiver. This is a single cable run from the port ? no couplers or switches are used.
The cable run from the BOMB to the bedroom and to the external TV port remain RG59, and are at the moment unused.
My objective is to replace the BOMB (containing the BatWing TV antenna amplifier) with another component. (A switching system?) The coaxial input from the batwing antenna needs to be converted to an HDMI signal to the TV.
As stated in the subject, I am not electrically proficient enough to determine what components I need to update my current system.
