If there is a signal splitter in there on the satellite cable it's going to degrade the signal. You'll have to isolate the satellite feed and the coax going to the bedroom. Then make sure there is no inline signal splitter on the line.

If you are using the same Winegard distribution box with all the buttons on the front as we are, you'll have to set it up the same for the bedroom as the front room. You'll have to push the satellite button to allow the signal to go to the bedroom coax. In our case that's the second set of 4 buttons from the left starting with "AUX". Push in the "SAT" button and hook the bedroom coax to the fitting on the back that it feeds.

You do not need to turn on the power switch in the main switching device, that's to power the batwing antenna booster.

Have fun, this is a real mess to figure out. Have several beers or beverage of your choice handy and plan to spend at least an afternoon sorting the rats nest of sometimes mislabeled cables back there.
