We have Dish and Wally. Living room takes one and the bedroom takes another. Total of two. Have tried the BR wally in the MH could not get it to work. Sure that I have done something wrong.

I have had Dish TV for some time now and I have to admit up front I don't know anything about the newer "Wally" equipment - wish I did.

However, my receiver is an older VIP-722K that supports two hardwired connections as well as an Ethernet connection. To that I added a Sling device - both the Sling device and the VIP-722K are no longer being offered by Dish but can be found used on Amazon and eBay. With my setup I can access all my Dish and local OTA channels in my RV on the road using a Firestick and DishAnywhere as long as I have Internet access in my RV. For that I have a grandfathered AT&T Mobley with unlimited data (for $20/mo).

My setup works great at home and on the road.

You cannot use a splitter but you should be able to run 2 separate coax cables from the antenna to the receivers. The above question about the dish you are using means what kind of antenna. Domes are a bit of a problem with 2 receivers but still doable. A full sized home style antenna works on the road exactly as well as it does at home.
