Dish help

Need some help on where I should start. Raised the dish yesterday and front TV's (over dash, televator, and outside) all show no signal. Bedroom TV works fine, I get all of my Dish channels. Where should I start?

Presuming it has worked before, and since the bedroom is working, I'd first check the Source (or Signal) setting on the non-working TV matches that of the working TV. Hope that's it otherwise the search becomes progressively more difficult ...

If it's not the TV settings, it likely a disconnected or loose cable. First check the one on the roof. If there's only one coax cable coming out of the antenna, then it's going to a splitter somewhere in the coach. If there are 2 coax cables, ensure both are clean & tight on the radar dish (clean threads; no loctite). If not the dish, you'll have to find the splitter and check those connections, and if not the splitter, then the back of the TV. There are multiple YouTube videos as to how to dismount or get access to the back of that TV. There may also be discussions on this forum on getting it down.

Good luck

OK, got home and did some more investigating. All 3 front TV's (over dash, televator and outside) show the same "No Connection" on both HDMI ports. I ran a HDMI cable from the Wally direct to the HDMI port on the living room TV and Dish works, so it's not those connections. I think it is an issue with box under the sink that all of the CAT 5 cables go to and back out. I can see 4 lights on top of the box flash, all together. So, is this the problem? If it is, how in the world do you get to it? It is mounted against the outside wall under the sink. A skinny 10-year-old "might" be able to get to it, not 65 and 235! Suggestions?

I have never seen a satellite dish that will feed more than one TV at a time. I have had satellite to our two tv's but the HDMI cable from the receiver ran to an HDMI switch that could be changed from one tv or the other. But never both at the same time. Chuck

We had the same problem. The are two HDMI powered splitters, mine are located under the kitchen sink on the back wall. They are each powered by "Power Adaptor" we have had both of ours go bad. You should see steady Green light on both if the power adaptor is working. If only one is green you can switch the Power Adaptors to get the TV in the front working. You can get replacements on Amazon.

PS: The power adaptor plugs in then screws tight.

GKU thanks. Mine are located in the same place under the sink. What did you have to do to get to them?

Ours have 2 sliding drawers. Remove stuff from drawers then remove the drawer (clips on either side). Now the hard part, work yourself into the cabinet toward the rear until you can reach the HDMI splitters.

Pad the bottom and side of the cabinet with something like blankets, etc. they should protect you back and stomach ( I learned this the hard way).
