PowerTec R-1003

I have that device in my coach that prohibits me from watching tv while in motion. So that's all well and good except my coach came with an in-motion satellite system. The bedroom TV get's the signal from the front tv that does not work when the engine is on. I was told to cut the green wire except it has two green wires. Help?

I wouldn't cut any wires. The device you are talking about cuts power to the driver visible TV when the ignition is on. This is a safety/legal thing. If I really wanted to disable it, I'd follow the power cord from the TV to the place where it is powered from. If you can unplug it from there and plug it into a regular output, fine. If not, I'd either detach it from that power source, wire on a standard plug and plug it into a regular outlet, or find the wire from the ignition which causes the power to be disconnected and either remove the fuze or put a switch in that wire. In no case would I do anything irreversable.

It seems unlikely that the front TV would need to be on in order for the rear TV to work. On all the ones I've seen, the Satellite box goes into a switch (Weingard), and you set the rear TV to satellite and it should work just fine no matter what the front TV is doing or not doing.
