Or...... I just throw the old TV out the window (conveniently located right next to it), replace it with a flower bouquet and enjoy the outdoors HeHeHeHe

Best Buy sells a repeater than is wireless. You plug it in to the dvd player and the receiver into the bedroom tv. The bedroom TV will see what you see on the other so it is not separate viewing but it works if you want to view in bedroom and not in living area.


can't you broadcast something from the DVD player to the back TV and watch something different on the front one? but as stated, you can buy a DVD player cheaper than the transmitter.

If you are gonna go through all of the above, may I suggest looking at

Pic is a clickable link CW.
For about $50 ya get all the flexibility with current wiring because it has A/V (RCA) plugs for DVD in and out.

Thomas.....I had the same problem. The switch boxes haven't kept up with the times. Your switch box should have some RCA inputs though.....a yellow (video) red & white (audio). I ran RCA plugs from the DVD player into the switchbox and solved the problem.

Eventually I'll just add a small DVD player top the bedroom when I change the TV out.

Yes, updating the switchbox would be another way of making it work.
No, my current box doesn't have any other inputs but coax.

I kinda go with adding the inexpensive DVD player in the bedroom. That way, you will also be able to control it with a remote without having to also install some kind of "remote repeater" to use a remote on a player in another part of the MH. (I'm having to do that for the Satellite receiver in the back which is also hooked up to the TV in the front through a second set of A/V outputs. Works.)


I agree at this point the dvd player is the way to go. I must say With my 07 Daymon there is a switch that allows me to switch it back to the back tv so if I have bored Grand kids riding with me they can watch a movie underway.
