Okay....Try this....Get the "DishProPlus" Twin LNB, and the seperator....Run one cable from the dish to the outside cable input of the RV....According to Winegard's literature the video distribution box probably contains the antenna amplifier, so you may not have a wall plate amplifier.....You have 5 inputs (satellite, cable, VCR, antenna, and DVD) and 3 and possibly 4 outputs (main TV, TV2, DVDand possibly VCR/TV3).....Disconnect the coax from the cable input and connect it to your 625, using the seperator to connect to TV1 and TV2 sat inputs......Connect TV1 output coax to the cable input of your video distribution box and TV2 to the Sat input....On the front of the video distribution box be sure to set main to Cable and second to Sat....This should allow you to watch indpendent progaraming on the front and rear TVs. Also by switching between cable/sat to antenna you should be able to use your OTA roof antenna also.

Try starting a new thread without yelling (all caps). This one has erroneous posts confusing the topic. Also tell us about all your equipment, it looks like you have Legacy LNBs incorrectly connected.
