Thread: Missing Channels - How to Reauthorize your Receivers

you do know this thread is a year old and some newbie felt the need to bring up a old thread?

my husband and i rv all of the time and every time we move we have to have direct tv come and set up the satellite. we bought a satellite finder 14067 in order to do this our selves but unfortunately every time we try to use the finder, we have problems. Is there anyone who could possible help us walk through the steps to having direct tv when we move. Direct has gone up to $199.00 to come out and set up our satellite. We are both on a fixed income and unable to pay that much every time we move.

Setting up a dish isn't that hard, and with a little understanding and practice, you can certainly do it yourself each time and save some $ on the service calls (I'm retired - I understand what a nag extra expenses are).

Let me know what kind of dish you have (pictures are excellent - or just describe it) along with the model receiver.


(Mods may want to move to DTV tech forum?).

I'm not sure what type of RV (motorhome or trailer) you have, but you may want to look into the Qube or getting an automatic dish installed on your RV. If you are paying $200 each time you want it set up, you could probably recoup your cost relatively soon by installing one of the options I mentioned. Check out Camping World for all the different choices.
