    Satellite Meter

    Went camping this weekend and I couldn't find my little squealer so I set up my dish, pointed it with my compass, and by the time I got inside to check the signal, I had a picture already. Couldn't believe it. 98 % on 101, 96 or better on the other two. It was a good clear shot but it's rarely...

    Satellite Meter

    Sorry but I do work for a living. Can't sit around reading the forum all day. As for my level of knowledge, I've been setting up my Rv with Dish for about 6 yrs. and I've been an industrial electrician for about 25 yrs. so I'm quite comfortable with electronics. It just seems infinitely more...

    Satellite Meter

    Anybody? I'm using a swm slimeline dish with an H25 reciever. I placed the meter between the power inserter and the dish. It just seemed to be completely erratic. Once I removed the meter I was able to get a signal but I would really like to be able to stay at the dish and get it locked in and...

    Using multiple splitters

    I'm not cutting the roof, just the ceiling inside. I have read a thread on rv.net where someone did the exact same thing. I did talk to the manufacturer about it and they said the cables are accessible from inside.

    Satellite Meter

    Will these analog style meters work with DTV? Mine seems to be useless. It's either pegged out or no signal. I finally just used the receiver signal meter but I hate going in and out of the RV to check it. It worked fine with Dish but doesn't seem to work with DTV. I had a satellite dealer check...

    Using multiple splitters

    Thanks everyone. I thought it would work but I wanted to be sure before I tried it. I could use the factory cable wiring and disconnect the antenna amp but there are splitters somewhere that I can't access without cutting holes in the wall. The wiring scheme on these things is haphazard at best...

    Using multiple splitters

    The reason for 2 splitters is that all the cables don't converge in a central location. In order to connect to the bedrooms, I am using the factory wiring for a rooftop dish, which I never intend to use. $2000 for a satellite dish is not something I'm going to do. The question is can I do it...

    Using multiple splitters

    I recently switched from Dish to Directv so I am still learning about Dtv. I have a 5th wheel camper in which I have used a tripod and a swm dish with a single H25 receiver. Everything is good with that, set up and it worked fine. I would like to use a second , and maybe a third, H25 in the...
