We have used our Travel'r before and never had a problem with it. Now we are 250 miles from home and it keeps searching for a signal with a clear 360 view of the sky. Is there any setting we need to do to the TV to get it to work? I thought it was a simple one button push operation. Anyone have any ideas?

250 miles from the last "sighting" , it might take quite awhile to find the correct sats. How long have you been waiting for it to find itself?

It could take as long as 20 minutes.
