Satellite TV Hook-Up

[2lkmead]

Hello All,

I have a 2000 310 Sundancer that I am about to hook up to Satellite TV. I plan on mounting the the dish to the dock. My question is........

I have a cable TV jack (along with a phone jack) in the fender storage compartment at the stern of the boat. My boat has the TV antenna on the radar arch and the antenna signal/gain booster in the cabin. I don't believe I have the antenna (A/B) switch. Has anyone had success hooking up an external antenna source (satellite or cable) using the jack without an antenna switch?

My obvious goal is to use the coax cable in the boat and not have to run new cable.... Thanks!

On the 1999, the A/B switch is on the wall in the cubby beneath the TV rack

You should be ok. We have the same set up on the 320, and I ran the dish coax from the dock into the cable TV jack on the boat. Make sure you have your booster turned to "OFF", that turns it into a straight pass-thru device. Works great!

I plan on the same, I just don't see a good way to get the cable from the dish into the little locker on the port side, I just dont wanna run it over the side of the boat, would look tacky I think.
