How to hook up the other Tvs on my RV
I recently had the Direct TV receiver update my old receiver had a Sat in port and an out TV port . The video and audio cables go to the front TV, no port to attach coax cable that goes to the distribution box for other TVs .

DTV can't use a distribution box. Please post the model number of the DTV receiver.

I'm guessing that your old receiver had an RF Coax output that provided video on Ch3 or Ch4? The H24 does not have that RF Coax output. You'll need an RF Modulator to convert the H24's Composite Video output to an RF signal on Ch3 or Ch4. Or consider upgrading your TVs and distribution equipment to use HDMI instead.

I assume you are still using an 18" round dish. DTV is shutting down the MPEG2 and all local channels on the 101 sat that dish gets so they can still use the 101 sat to broadcast in MPEG4.

Be prepared that DirecTV has been moving away from MPEG-2/SD-only.
Time for many to update equipment (DirecTV boxes, receiving dish, and TV set) to HD capable. Just a change in an era you could say.

From early on in the discussion, my understanding is the H24 is the new box.

OP stated they have an H24 and litzdog911 already told them about an RF modulator.
