Exclamation Another update!!

I took the MH to the Ocean this last weekend.

Once we had ensconced ourselves in our Camp Site, I got up on the roof and connected the flexible coax cable to the C port while the Trav'ler found the sats. My wife was in the rig so I knew when the sats where found. Once we knew the sats where correctly lined up, I switched the flexible coax to the B port and got signal to the DirecTV receivers. We where able to watch all of our channels.

That night we had a very strong wind storm. In the morning we couldn't get signal, so, I went back on the roof, connected the flexible coax to the C port and we again searched for and found all the sats. I then reconnected to the B port and we again got signal to our DirecTV receivers. (Apparently the wind had moved the dish enough to lose the signal.)


When we were ready to leave, I pushed the shutting down button and the Trav'ler stowed itself. The next time we camp I will simply go on the roof again. Hopefully I will only have to go up there once each trip.

Right now this is going to be my technique to acquire signal. It was time consuming and wet (it was raining both times I was on the roof.) I guess I will be making a decision about whether I want to spend anywhere from $300 to $600 to repair the unit. I guess being a little wet might assuage my pocketbook a little.

I still wonder if I couldn't split the signal from and to the LNB (the flexible cable) and connect it to both the C and B Port. Winegard has told me this won't work, but . . . I still wonder!
