Just went to a dish at home. Completely new at Satellite system. What is best way to have portable for camper?
Thanks for info in advance.
Thanks for info in advance.
I have express view here in Canada but when we go to the south in winter we bring our programing with us.
have 2 receivers and no HD.
I made a satelite holder that can be mounted on the front or rear 2" receiver, depending my trailer points north or south.
I have a $10 satelite locator and downloaded a satelite finder free programe that calculates the angle and coordinate for the satelite at different parked location. I get the coordinates from my truck GPS and punch them in the programe and apply it to the dish when aligning.
The satelite dish and mas was free and about $30 of steel I have a bulletproof satelite carrier on the pin. I have travelled for the last 15 years with he satelite dish on the pin frame of both of my trailers and so far didn't even got a fly on it.
Now for the $64,000 question. How did you hook up the coax?
My '09 3400RL has 4 Sat hookups and 1 cable. I've tried to hook up the coax to each and get no signal. I talked to a fella that had a Bighorn while a buddy was picking up his new 5er. He stated that he hooked up a splitter here and there and ran this to that... I didn't have anything to write with when this guy was telling me what he did so I got just as lost as you did reading the previous sentance. Any help would be appreciated.
