note sure but my guess is the cables as the connections did not appear to be compromised

Update 2 new 50' RG6 cables and both receivers working great. Thanks to all for the responses.:up

There is a splitter which I had to bypass with a barrel connector in order to get the satellite signal to the main tv. I think I will get a new flat cable and some new RG6 as well but would the in line amplifiers help me at all as well?

did you try the exit button? That should stop the searching process and allow you to access the menu

If it's a DC power issue, would an in-line satellite amplifier help? Maybe one for each line? I am going to pick up a couple of 50' coax cables to try as well. Depending on the location of the dish sometimes I need to use 2 100's....

I have an 18" round dish with a dual lnb. From that I run 2 100' lines of RG6 coax to two separate SD receivers. One line connects to the coax input on my camper that feeds my main tv and the second line connects to a small piece of flat coax, comes through the back window of my camper and...

thanks for the info I will try that

My wife and I went camping in our travel trailer this weekend for the first time and I had problems getting DTV to work. The trailer has a coax input that then splits off to 2 different coax jacks inside the trailer. I was running it from the dish (mounted on a tripod) to the coax input on the...

decided to go with single (dual) lnb for ease of set up and since HD is not an issue. I will post back in a few weeks after we use it.

from what I was able to find it looks like 99 and 103 are mostly HD channels. There are a lot of locals for various cities as well. Do I have any chance of getting my locals with a single lnb? If not I can get the same tailgate satellite package for about $14 more with a 3lnb dish. Is 3lnb...

checked out the list and it seems just about everything I need is on 101. Did not see NFL channels anywhere - that is a scary thought.

what would be the benefit of the 3lnb over the 1? Ideally I just want access to all my channels (will settle for SD only) on 1 receiver. The 3 lnb would be for something like a dvr with 2 tuners, right? Or is there some other difference between the 1 and 3? By the way thanks to all for the...

to paste the link of the setup I was looking at http://my.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MyEbayBeta&CurrentPage=MyeBayNextWatching&ssPageName=STRK:ME:LNLK:MEWAX

needed a 3rd post...

I was thinking something like this - much closer to my price range! I could do the same set up but with a 3 lnb for not that much more money. Do you know if either of these would work?
