Wireless TV signals in the coach.
We recently had ETLC install the Winegard Rayzar Automatic HDTV/Digital antenna to replace the original batwing TV antenna that was stuck mid-way up. Antenna is GREAT, well worth the expense.
The control box for this antenna has coax out. I’m interested in transmitting the TV signal from the “coax out port” to our flat screen TV.
Anyone know of a device that wirelessly transmits a TV signal to the TV taking the TV signal from the “coax out port”?

Dick,
I installed mine last mine and, I think it’s definitely a great investment.
So your flat screen in your RV didn’t have an antenna coax running to it from the Batwing? All my three of my TV’s were wired for both Satellite and the OTA antenna. That’s why this is upgrade should be “plug & play” on your TV’s, assuming they were wired & installed by your converter when your coach was built.

There is coax behind where the “front TV” was installed, but the flat screen won’t fit in there. So we put it on the two drawer base cabinet which is immediately behind pax seat and right now I have a coax cable strung from the overhead cabinet in the front cap over to the TV. I know its hokey looking, but we’ve found the TV being there works well for us. Just trying to eliminate the exposed coax.

Dick,
My flatscreen didn’t fit in the hole left by the old analog; however, with a bracket, our flatscreen fits over the old hold where the analog TV was, allowing us all the same connections.
I believe Tom did the exact same thing …
-
You’re right. How kind of a bracket did you use to hold the TV in there? I wonder if Tom would let me stop at his house early next month and show me how he hooked his up.

My bus is in FL right now but I can take pics when I get back in Jan. But basically it’s a piece of 3/4” plywood, painted black, cut smaller than the TV, with drilled holes in the right spots for the cables.
It’s secured using a piano hinge on the top of the plywood and wooden box structure which is the old TV cabinet. I can flip up the TV to gain access to behind the TV.
I’m fairly sure if you don’t want to Make your own bracket, you can buy a metal bracket made to hang a flat screen on a wall.
I’m sure Tom will show you his bus’ setup. Knowing Tom, he’ll probably have some cold ones waiting too!

So the TV is supported by the hinge on the stop of the board. Hadn’t thought of that. Have you done anything to to keep the TV from flopping back and forth? or does it say put pretty good?

On my previous Liberty, I used a wireless HDMI to eliminate the coax.
This is how I changed out the front TV, it swings open and I now have storage behind.
Stop by anytime Dick.

Dick, We used HDMI wireless also. It allows you to have only to run a hdmi cable from the box to the tv. Our longest run(from the box to the front tv) was about 8′. Have 3 boxes. Geo.

The piano hinge attaches to the plywood and to the old TV cabinet. The new HDTV attaches to the plywood.
My HDTV flips “up” using the piano hinge and, no, the TV does not move when I’m in motion.
But again, you can probably get a HDTV wall bracket that may work just as well.
Or, the HDMI wireless that Tom & Corey have used sounds great with little effort.
-
Methinks he wants to run the antenna feed to the TV not the output of a tuner to a TV used as a monitor (HDMI).

Can someone post a link to this wireless HDMI device you are talking about?

Sorry. Never mind, I see Tom posted a link.
