We have two HDTV"S in our 5th wheel and I am able to get a stronger signal on the living room TV than the bedroom set. I am wondering if anyone else has noticed this in their rig and whether it would be caused by the length of the cable from the booster to the TV, or the tuner in each se.
Thanks, LIKENIT

In Feb we bought a 2002 Cedar Creek. From day one we got lousy reception on the front TV and great reception in the bedroom. We thought maybe had to do with the wiring. However, in Sept we took unit out twice and twice found the TV on the floor. We had been out 6 times previous and had no problem. Both times the strap had slid off from in front of it.
After the last drop, the TV would not get any reception, could only use it with DVD.s and then would lose picture after about 1/2 hour. We so got to thinking - bet the TV was dropped prior to us buying our Fiver. Got new TV, husband build a false wall in front of it while traveling and we do not expect any further problem. Just went from NJ to Lousiana and back without incident.
So, do you know if your bedroom set ever landed up on the floor? Just a thought.

A lot depends on the wiring and method of sending a signal to the second TV. For example, the front TV in our coach is directly connected to the sat receiver, but the rear TV must go through a mechanical switch. The presence of the switch degrades the signal to the rear TV.
I am afraid, unless you have 2 actual receivers in place, the second TV will always have a weaker signal. That would be especially true in the instance of HD, due to the bandwidth and type of signal and specialized connections involved.
