Were breaking in the new North Trail this weekend, and I'd love to have the TV hooked up so i can watch the Buckeyes play on Saturday.
The rig is a 2010 North Trail 32QBSS.
I have DirectTv service here at the house, and will be taking one of our home recievers with us. I have a slimline dish, complete with a tripod.
I tried to figure out how to connect the cables to the dish, and the blah blah to the blah and gave up. Stopped in our local satellite store, installation center and explained what we wanted to do. Esentially, without the technical mumbo-jumbo, the dish connects to the trailer. The reciever connects to the inside cable outlet. And the TV connects to the reciever. Makes sense to me! But the person I consulted said plugging the satellite directly into the outside cable outlet would fry the internal wiring of the RV. Could this really be? Should I have upgraded to some sort of satellite hookup on the rig? I'm confused. Even more so because after the guy told me that info, he DIDN'T try to sell me a $300.00 anti-fry doo-dad!! Has anyone plugged the satellite dish directly into the cable outlet? if so, any problems? I'd really like to see the Buckeyes run up the middle every play against Illinois!!! (and hopefully win by more than 5 points!!)
